For so many people, exercise is a way to reset, reduce anxiety or work towards a personal fitness goal. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all dealing with a lot of “new normals” – and one of those things is the mass closure of gyms.
People have been dealing with the situation in creative and fun ways. Here are some trainers that have been creating some really great at-home workout content:
- Damon Bell (@damonbell)
- Ash Scarrott (@ashscarrott)
- Rob Atkin (@rob_atkin)
- Hunter Hobbs (@hunterhobbzzz)
- Drew Iwanejko (@DKOfitnessexperience)
Also, one of my favorite fitness apps, SHRED just added a new at-home section with mostly bodyweight exercises and minimal equipment. For a core workout, I’ve always loved 6-Pack Promise from ATHLEAN-X and will usually finish-up every workout with around!
Here are some ideas for at-home gym equipment:
- Yoga mat
- Dumbells
- TRX Bands
- Resistance bands
- Foam roller
- Jump rope
- Foam yoga block
- Medicine ball
- Weighted arm/ankle bands
- Sliders
Also, here’s my Spotify workout playlist that I crowd-sourced from Instagram a while back:
Let me know who is motivating you right now via social media to break a sweat or coming out with some great at-home workouts! I hope y’all are all staying healthy and safe!
Stay Risky,
– John
