Just because it seems like all of our gym days are over doesn’t mean your workouts have to be, too. In fact, it’s actually the exact opposite. When you’ve hit your Netflix quota and you’re ready to finally leave your bed or couch, a workout is one of the best ways to get your blood circulating, take your mind off of the current situation, and maintain your sense of normal routine. {And movement is a way to boost endorphins that keep your spirits up, too!} Here are a few different workouts you can do anywhere, any time, with minimal equipment needed, thanks to Vanessa Checchio of Bachata & Barbells.

If you have dumbbells at home, feel free to add them into these workouts for some extra difficulty + to bump up your workout. Also, when you’re completing the movements, you can increase the intensity by moving faster, adding weight, and shortening rest periods.

Most importantly, however, just keep moving. Movement is a mood booster and right now, we could all use some form of positivity. Although going to the gym isn’t a possibility, solo workouts and getting outside can still happen. So get a workout in, go for a run, or take a walk —  no matter what just keep moving. {With, of course, six feet between yourself and other fitness fiends!}
