Keeping your fitness during quarantine
Updated: Apr 16, 2020
For group fitness instructors, personal trainers and gym go-ers alike, the closure of gyms due to the Coronavirus threw a massive spanner in the works in terms of our personal training and fitness goals. Despite being a necessary measure to help combat this pandemic, it still kinda sucks. Those of us who teach for a living may have seen our activity levels drop hugely, from doing over 15 hours of exercise a week to counting a trip upstairs as cardio. To avoid the first class or session back in the gym feeling like you’ve been hit by a tonne of bricks, what steps can we take during quarantine to keep our fitness up?
Online classes
The first and most obvious way to keep fit is to keep doing some classes, either via a streaming service like Les Mills On Demand or on YouTube. Being the participant in the workout gives you a different feeling than instructing it and you are often able to push that intensity a little harder as you don’t have to worry about talking over a microphone or coaching.
