Quarantine Workout!


Well, we have come to a difficult time. Almost all Universities across the country have shut down for the remainder of the semester. With many college students being sent home and state governments limiting how much you are allowed to leave home, how are you supposed to work out?

Many college students used gyms located on campus and various other fitness activities on campus to get their daily dose of workout in. Now because of the Corona Virus gyms at home and social distancing orders have put a halt to student’s daily workout routines. So, while you’re in quarantine how can you keep up with your daily dose of working out?

 

How to Get a Workout In


Since most of the country is under quarantine have been able to get out more and enjoy the outdoors. This is the first good thing about being able to work out while under quarantine. There are many things you can do to stay active while under quarantine, let’s take a look at a few.

The first thing you can do is simple. Go for a bike ride, walk, or run. All these options are easy to do and are great sources of workout. Biking and running will help you burn the most calories and are very enjoyable to do.

What else can you do if you really don’t want to go outside and risk catching the virus? Stay inside a bust out the Wii that’s been sitting in the closet. The Wii is a fun way to get a workout and have fun while playing it with your whole family. You might not burn a lot of calories while doing it, but you will definitely be active and have fun.

The last thing you could do if you are trying to get a great lifting workout in try finding heavy things around your house that mimic gym supplies and use those to workout. My favorite is taking my heavy college textbooks putting them in bags and hanging them off the sides of an old lacrosse stick to use as weights.

No matter what you decide to do it’s important to get creative in this time of quarantine and find an activity that suits you best. My personal favorite is going on long bike rides because it’s fun to explore on a bike and you get a great workout in. It’s important to stay active while we face this time.

Stay happy, healthy, and safe!

Photo By: Daniel Djukic This week with summer fast approaching we will discuss fun fitness activities that you can do while off campus. Summer is a great time to keep your physical fitness up and to have fun with it. Let’s take a look at some of the activities one can participate in. When you think of summer many people think of heat and humidity. Which makes people less motivated to go and be fit. Although one may think this, I have a few fitness ideas you may want to try out over the summer.  Activities To Try The first activity we are going to talk about is paddle boarding. What is a paddle-board ? Think of a long wide surfboard. On the paddle-board  you can stand, kneel, or sit and you have a single paddle and can row anywhere you would like. The reason paddle boarding is a great workout is because it helps strengthen your balance and core strength as you paddle around. It also gives you a great arm workout. Paddle boarding is super fun to because if y...

The whole country is under a social distancing order which means you have to stay 6 feet away from other people. When it comes to working out this can be very hard because a lot of places you can go to get a good workout in are closed or too many people occupy the space. That’s okay though because I have some ideas that could help you reach your fitness goals. The activity we will discuss this week is simple and many already know about it. Let’s talk about biking. I’m not a huge fan of running that’s why I prefer to ride a bike. Biking is a great workout and can help you reach many of your fitness goals. Biking To start biking can be anything you want it to be. What I mean by that is you can bike on the road in your neighborhood or you can bike far or even hit some trails. The possibilities are endless with biking. Biking is a simple wor...
