My gym LA Fitness has closed its doors as a precautionary measure to stop the spread of COVID-19. So what does this mean for our fitness goals? Just because we can’t physically go to the gym doesn’t mean we shouldn’t find alternative ways to work out and stay fit. I refuse to emerge from this quarantine looking like the Michelin Man, so as a family we have started daily walks around our neighborhood, and kettlebell or a series of cardio exercises in our basement for me.
Once the gym re-opens, here are some tips from mapmyrun.com on staying germ-free at the gym and some at-home workouts from SWEAT. What ways are you staying fit at home if your gym is closed?
