8 Awesome At-Home Workouts You Can Stream During Quarantine
We hope our amazing Habyt members and readers are practicing social distancing. By minimizing your contact with others, you are doing your part to flatten the curve and take care of our nation’s amazing health care workers. But it’s also important to take care of yourself during quarantine or isolation. Gyms and workout studios may be closed, but staying active will help you relieve stress and excess energy. You might be missing your favorite class, but you can still get an awesome workout, minus the shared equipment or crowded studio. Thanks to apps, Instagram Live, and smart TVs, you can get your daily workout fix as long as you have room for a yoga mat. Here’s our roundup of our favorite workouts you can stream from home:
Support local studios! Many small studios are offering classes you can stream online. These online workouts are often donation based, with funds going to keep the studio in business. You can also show your support for local studios by purchasing gift cards for future classes, following them on social media, or leaving a positive review on Yelp or ClassPass.
