TIME TO STAY FIT

At home workouts to do during the virus

Guilherme Berbel and Madeline Scavuzzo

Sitting on your couch and watching movies is nice. However, it can get old real fast. Ever since the Corona Virus started taking over our daily routines we have been trying to come up with ideas to help us stay active. We should all take advantage of this opportunity and work on our physical and mental health. Take this time to lose the quarantine 15, not gain it. Many health organizations and influencers are doing what they can help everyone during this time. Posting their fitness routines online or even live stream workouts. “I joined in on a live stream workout the other day. It was actually really fun.” (Madeline Scavuzzo) You can simply google at home workout routines. And that is exactly what we did. We went back and forth sending each other at home workouts. After the endless amounts we came across, we finally found one we both like. Coach Magazine offers endless amounts of workouts. Now, this workout does require you to have dumbbells. If you don’t have any, find a book or something else that is somewhat heavy to lift. I have used books before and they do just as well. This workout is a four-week training plan consisting of three workouts a week. That doesn’t sound to bad, right? Make sure you start off by warming up. The last thing you want to do is pull something. The plan offers a great way to warm up before each workout. They have the workouts set up for Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. We suggest that you do exactly that. Allowing your body time to rest in-between. Each day can take you anywhere from 15-30 minutes. We have been doing this workout plan for only one week. Let us tell you though that it definitely will kick your butt. Take this time to work on your physical health. Working on your physical health will help with your mental health during this time. Remember, lose the quarantine 15, not gain it!
