4 Ways to Get Fit at Home
As many know, all gyms have been closed due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak. In the meantime, many people want to stay in shape but don’t know how, lack equipment, or have simply lost motivation. Below, I will tell you about my top websites that can help you get fit at home.
-
iBodyFit.com: Looking for the world’s largest online workout website? Look no further. iBodyFit.com offers thousands of workouts and has videos and descriptions for each one. They offer different workout routines depending on what results people are seeking. In our current situation, their Fat burner bundle is most likely many people’s first choice because, like me, you may be finding that potato chips and Netflix are taking their toll. Cost: $29.99/year.
-
Roguefitness.com: Rogue Fitness offers a wide variety of reliable, mail-order gym equipment. Rogue is a very well-known brand among fitness fanatics. They are so confident in their products that they put the product reviews on each thumbnail to show what other people thought of the product. Rogue also offers an entire web page dedicated to CrossFit equipment, in case anyone is looking to do that during this “social distancing” period.
- Work Out Outdoors: There are some safe outdoor activities that will keep you away from other people but still allow you to have a great time. Kayaking is a very good upper-body workout, as well as a way to get some fresh air and enjoy open space. For the worst workout day of the week, leg day, people can go biking. There are great biking trails in the Marinette area, maps for which can be found online.
- The UREC Center, the student gym at the UW-Green Bay Main Campus, is currently offering fun ways to stay in shape at home, such as their four-week T-shirt giveaway Fitness Challenge. The challenge asks students to work out for 150 minutes a week for 4 weeks (March 30 – April 6) and log their minutes online to receive their free shirt. The REC Center is also offering free yoga videos on their website, free offline workouts on Instagram,and live, full at-home workouts on Facebook.
