How and why do we exercise in today’s quarantine world?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Gyms are closed and the weather outside is not looking good either. Then how do we find the motivation to work out, and what kind of routines are possible to do at home?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unless you’re a millionaire, the chances of you having a gym in your overpriced, rented apartment is slim. As sad as that sounds, let’s hope once you graduate, you’ll find a well-paying job and end up with your own private gym (if you ask me it’s not likely, but that sounds good, eh?).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even if this doesn’t happen, years later you can still look back at this article about exercising at home. In my experience the hardest part of it all is taking that first step, and getting started. I’m a huge advocate of gyms, when they are open, that is. It’s a whole different vibe to go somewhere to train, and the motivation is different too, since one of the most driving factors as a student is that you already paid for it. Meanwhile, at home, I have this little voice in my head saying that here the only thing I paid for is the crisps and chocolate in the cupboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, enough talking, let’s jump right into it. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing a shorter or longer workout, right after you’ll feel better, maybe you’ll even start studying (exam period is creeping up on us, so better start). Working out elevates our mood, relieves stress and also helps with losing weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The list of activities we can do outside is endless, for example running, cycling, hiking or just simply walking. While doing so, don’t forget to layer properly – after all, it’s winter time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exercises at home can be simple too, many of them don’t require any equipment. The internet is a great source for routines and programs, there are numerous apps and online streaming services filled to the brim with information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, Cyberobics is an app where you can join live fitness classes from your apartment, just set your level and you’re ready to go. Another great source is YouTube, you can simply search for routines and follow along. You can also create your own workout plan, here are some ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n
