Quarantine post 2: how to mix up those at home workouts

Hello all,

I hope everyone is still staying active and keeping moving during these times. Last night on the news, although it is no where near over, the curve seems to be flattening so there is light at the end of the tunnel and by keeping positive, we will reach the other side. Everyone has been impacted in one way or another so it’s important to each play our part and stay home as much as possible and do those garden or living room workouts or your one run or walk a day, so we can reach the other side more quickly.

I have come up with some ideas below to keep the workouts switched up and different over the days that seem to merge into each other.

  1. write down a list of different fitness influencers on Instagram, YouTube etc and each day pick a workout from a different one each day
  2. focus on 1 aspect of training each day, for example today may be leg day, tomorrow arm day, then cardio, then core. This will allow you to have variation and breadth to your training
  3. come up with your own workouts and split them into the above categories and pick different exercises for each day
  4. find a good playlist. Music makes all the difference to feeling motivated throughout the whole workout

I hope these tips help to keep those workouts varied and different in the days that seem to all be the same 🙂

Keep happy, healthy and active!

Your Sports Captain.
