HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR WORK- OUT ROUTINE IN QUARANTINE
While a workout routine can be challenging to start and maintain, it’s essential to losing weight and staying healthy.

After work, turn your living room or office into your workout area by rearranging large pieces of furniture. To ensure you have enough space, spread out on the floor as if you were making snow angels. If you don’t have enough space, park your car outside and use the garage. morning commute, use that time you’re saving to work out before starting your day. Or if you’re saving time during lunch, take that time to knock out a quick run or exercise! It can be hard to exercise at home if you lack the equipment you usually use at the gym. However, doing push-ups, planking, squatting, or doing leg lifts are great ways to help build muscle and stay on track with your workout regimen.
