Whether you’ve been busting your butt at the gym since January or want to get back into working out, you’ll have to do it at home right now. All gyms have been ordered to close, including gyms in apartment complexes. As a result, this is posing a problem for those who want to get a workout in and don’t know what exercises to do on their own.
That’s why we put together a list of free workouts you can do in your living room or backyard. From high-intensity workouts to a meditation yoga flow, here are some workouts to keep your activity up and your stress level down.
