Yes, even swimming
Photo: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty/Getty Images Since the start of social distancing, we’ve been covering different ways of getting fit at home, including the best home gym equipment. It’s no secret, though, that some workouts are easier to duplicate in your living room than others. Yoga? Roll out your mat and press play on a Sky Ting TV video. If your normal workout involves swimming laps at the Y or doing heavy cleans in a CrossFit gym, however, adapting it for home is not that simple.
For specific exercises, Orme says “you can never go wrong with burpees. They build upper-body strength as well as being a potent conditioning tool.” She also likes kettlebell swings and goblet squats, where the weight is held at the center of your chest. You can do both movements with any heavy item at home, and both work your lower body while engaging your core muscles.
Rowing Regulars at studios like CityRow, Row House, or East End Row that are dedicated to full-body, low-impact workouts on the rowing machine might not be able to hop on the Concept2 anytime soon, but that’s no reason their 1,000-meter time has to suffer. “The majority of our clients do not have rowers at home,” says Annie Mulgrew, a founding instructor at CityRow. Her studio is currently offering on-demand classes on its app that are designed to hit the muscle groups used most in rowing.
