Hey all! Hope everyone is staying safe in this weird time we're all in. What's everyone doing to still stay active since most gyms and other places to workout are closing?

I have a Pilates Reformer, HIIT machine and ballet barre at home.
I'm pregnant so can't do high intensity workouts.
Ballet Beautiful (an online streaming service) has been very helpful since they have prenatal workouts.
I also try to fit in an hour of low-intensity level 1 resistance on the HIIT machine every few days.

It's so difficult staying motivated!
When I get back from work, I just want to sit in front of the sofa!
When I am able to strap some willpower on, I love Yoga with Adriene or even the Happy Walk at Home with LeslieSansone on Youtube. I try to do several runs up the stairs too.
I do need to pick things up.

Thank you for posting this. I had been using the Les Mills programs and walking but this is a nice change of pace given that I am running out of new things.

Hi RetArmySoldier,
I do a variety of swing dance forms. I began with Lindy Hop and then branched out to Balboa, Collegiate Shag and Charleston. It sounds like you do lots of ballroom styles! Which one is your favorite?
Cheers,
Jennifer

I've personally have fallen back to some old videos I had from Shaun T (Insanity) 😎 but since we are all staying home and barely moving, I thought I could share some basic small tips that would help you gain some extra steps 😊

I found a few workout videos online that have really helped me to maintain my weight during these last few months. I also have a few dumbbells at home and I've been making the most out of them. 😀
This few months have helped me to learn a lot about so many different ways to workout at home!

Are the classes for Yoga advance? I am a beginner but would like to take some.

That's a good tip @GraceGear18, and that works for me too, if I think too much about it it's very possible that I won't do it 😅
I'm trying to start with yoga as well @coachzavala, but some positions seem quite complicated, so I'm trying some easy positions for beginners that I found online.

Hmmm, let me think, even before COVID, I didn't go to gyms, and mostly did workouts from home. I have mostly done of fitness youtubers (Mostly Calisthenics), such as:
BullyJuice https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK9JEqf7LBBx3tkrPx2xvbQ
Austin Dunham https://www.youtube.com/user/GeekAMD
Chris Heria/THENX https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaBqRxHEMomgFU-AkSfodCw (Chris Heria) https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMiamiTrainer (THENX)
I would like to not that during this time I also Biked and Ran.
After doing those for a while, I started doing some workouts by myself when I didn't feel like doing a video.
So Yeah, There is my thoughts on this, hope it helps, or at least is a somewhat interesting read!

Personally, I found a few workouts on YouTube, which I can do without using additional equipment. The biggest problem is cardio exercises at home. They suggest jumping a lot, but when I do it, it seems that the whole neighborhood is shaking

@AlRoss0908 cardio at home is kinda tricky. I have a treadmill but I just hate the noise it produces (it sounds as if en elephant runs on it). It is hard to get good cardio (especially long steady-state) without additional equipment and sometimes it's just better to invest money into an elliptical, rowing machine, or smart trainer (or spinning machine). I got a smart trainer after the last UK lockdown and attach my bike to it. Gives me decent home cardio (especially that now the weather isn't great for cycling and we went into lockdown 2.0). The calisthenics workouts can elevate your HR but indeed, it will involve lots of plyometric exercises. Also, it is hard to do an hour of steady-state cardio with calisthenics because this isn't a goal of it. I think, investing in one of the easily foldable cardio machines may be the best bet. It is really easier to jump on the smart-trainer bike and start spinning or use rower right after waking up than get into a structured HIIT workout which requires a lot more focus.

During a good outdoor workout, this is good. There are gyms on the streets and sports grounds, of course, in winter it is not so comfortable, but in winter you can work out at home. The main thing is desire
