Some people simply can’t start their day without their regular workout, while others never seem to find the time to hit up the gym. Whichever camp you fall into, you might find that all of this time at home is making you long for the ability to blow off some steam with a great workout.
In the spirit of “we’re all in this together,” many gyms, trainers and fitness platforms have developed options to help those who are living under quarantine — as well as others like healthcare workers, who are working overtime — keep up with their workouts.
Whether you’re that agent who hits the gym before dawn to get in a daily workout or you’re just missing the steps that real estate naturally provides (and going a little stir-crazy), there’s an at-home workout for you. Ranging from high-intensity classes to meditation practices, you can find your new daily ritual with one (or more) of these.
