The best YouTube fitness videos and motivational apps for your coronavirus lockdown, workout-from-home routines
No gym? No excuse – while it’s smart to social distance and avoid sweaty, shirtless gymrats right now, you can still keep in shape from the safety of your home – and there’s no better time to worry about your health
Coronavirus has governments advising people to stay home as much as possible to minimise the spread of Covid-19. When social distancing is recommended and with gyms shut as they are apparent hotbeds of infection with crowds of sweaty, shirtless gymrats, options for staying fit seem limited and many are dissolving into various states of unhealthy slothdom.
However, as the virus seems to infect those with a weaker immune system, it definitely is not the time to eat junk food and sink into lower standards of health. There’s no smarter time to put on a pair of Lulus and get down and sweaty – at home.
