In the words of Rihanna – work! Now we’ve reached the really important part – before it was all nonsense. Staying in shape during self-isolation is probably the biggest challenge for us all – not just for people who’ve never exercised before, but even people who go to the gym or jog might find it hard to adjust to this new reality. And really, the exercise activities are significantly limited indoors.
You can’t jog, swim, play ball, shoot hoops or climb. However, there are plenty of exercises you can do, namely in the aerobics department: Pilates, yoga and many other aerobic exercises. Now is the time to get off the couch and take your mind off things, and there’s no better way to do it than with a painful workout.
If you have no idea where to start (and that’s okay, neither do we), you can probably guess our next advice: go online. There are so many workout guides on YouTube and other social media sources by professional and amateur athletes, personal trainers and just people who enjoy this and have a lot of experience. The hardest part will be choosing the right guide for you, since the selection is really beyond your imagination.
