We’re all aware of just how important getting our daily excise is for our physical health. Moreover, regular exercise is now understood to be a key factor in maintaining good mental health. But with the current situation, getting our daily exercise has become even more difficult. Many gyms have now closed, group sports are being discouraged or even banned, and meeting up with an exercise buddy is in many cases out of the question. On top of that, staying home has meant that even the little bits of exercise we used to get, from say, walking to and from the bus stop, or carrying groceries back from the store, have now stopped. This makes it even more important to come up with a good daily exercise routine that can be done from home. The good news is that many home workout classes, from yoga and pilates to HIIT, are now being made available to stream online from services such as YouTube. So now is the perfect time to check out what’s available online and try out something new!
