Don’t go insane at home
You aren’t alone in trying to figure out how to stay fit and not lose all the fitness progress you’ve made after your gym closed due to the coronavirus.
The good news is there are many ways you can stay active. Here are some tips for staying active while social distancing.
Go for a Run
While most of your time should be spent at home, one outdoor activity you can do is go for a run.
Listen to your favorite band or podcast and enjoy the outdoors with some cardio.
Not only will it make you feel great physically, but running also has many mental health benefits. The great thing about running is you can do it anywhere, so you can keep a safe distance from others and stay fit.
Who knows, you might even fall in love with running.

Try Something New
Your local gym isn’t an option at the moment, but you can use this time to try something you normally wouldn’t.
For example, some great workouts you can do at home include yoga and calisthenics.
Cardio is another potential at-home workout.
There are so many ways that you can stay healthy without the gym—plus, it’s always good to challenge yourself regardless.
