Free At Home Workouts to Keep You Moving and Feeling Your Best

For avid gym-goers, social distancing can be pretty frustrating. Being removed from your normal routine can leave you unmotivated and on your second bowl of cereal rather than your second set of reps.

Whether you live for a good sweat or you are just trying to get started, there are a number of free resources that can keep you motivated and looking forward to your at home workout. It is a good idea to switch it up every once in awhile, you may even find something you really enjoy, learn a new skill, or discover muscles you didn’t even know existed.

Here is a list of at home workouts that you can access for free:

Planet Fitness

Known as the “judgment-free zone” of fitness gyms, you are even less likely to be judged in the comfort of your own home. Livestream workouts stream for free on their Facebook page at 7 p.m. EST daily and can be found after on their YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/planetfitness

Orange Theory

A fun fitness cult that has opened its doors (not literally) to members and non-members alike by uploading free 30 minute at home workouts.

Stay Active and Healthy with Free At Home Workouts

Staying active is crucial to maintaining optimal health, especially with the high potential for you to be a bit more stressed than usual right now. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Virtually any form of exercise, from aerobics to yoga, can act as a stress reliever. If you're not an athlete or even if you're out of shape, you can still make a little exercise go a long way toward stress management.”

If you like to do it yourself, rather than follow along with an instructor, HERE are some workouts you can do by themselves or as an addition to whatever exercise you have planned.

Post Workout Recovery

Don’t forget the importance of post workout recovery which could include:

-Stretching

-Proper Hydration

-Nutritional Intake

-Receptra Relief tincture and Targeted Topical™

-Adequate Rest
