When we are stuck at home, we don’t exercise. And that is a problem. Here are some exercise ideas for people stuck at home:

Apps: This is simple, but is a nice way to get exercise. Download an app that allows you to work out with trainers and/or set goals for yourself. In my family we do this and I recommend it for people who like to get things done quickly.

Stairs: Warning: not as easy as it looks. If you are in an apartment building or a two-story house, walk (or run) up and down the stairs for twenty times. You might be like, “Oh, easy,” but this actually pretty hard (for me) and it is a great way to work your legs and get your heart rate up.

Walk: If you live in the suburbs, this is my biggest recommendation to you. Take a walk (two miles at least for 10+) in your town and enjoy the fresh air while getting your exercise in for the day. The best time to take a walk is 10:00 AM or 3:00 PM. Make sure to distance yourself from other people though, and try to stay on quieter roads.

Run: If you live in an apartment, this is my biggest recommendation to you. Run around your kitchen or dining room or whatever room you would like. Even though it isn’t as good as taking a run at the track, it is a safe way to run around. But try not to knock things over, I don’t want to be the reason that your parents coffee is now on the white couch.

This is the last of the Quarantine self-help posts, but now you have a week of things to help you stay active during this crazy time. I hope you all are well.
