I'm a trainer, but working out at home has given me a whole new appreciation for what you can accomplish outside of a gym. Here's how I'm staying fit in self-isolation:
I’ve never been a home workout person. I just figured, why exercise in my apartment when I can go to a gym that has every type of equipment I could possibly want?
I thought I would hate being forced to work out from home. But it turns out, the experience has given me a whole new appreciation for what you can accomplish outside of a gym with limited equipment. And to my surprise, it’s helped me to find a more fun and forgiving approach to exercise in general. Part of the reason I’m working out most days right now is because I can’t achieve the same intensity I would in a gym. I don’t have an at-home substitute for a barbell loaded with twice my bodyweight. So I’m opting for shorter, more frequent workouts.
We’re all probably sitting more than we’re used to. That means tight hips, hunched up shoulders, and the infamous forward head posture — that thing that happens when you’re looking at a screen and your chin juts out forward, bringing your whole head and neck out of alignment.
