Working from home? Here’s a fantastic 40 minute at-home workout routine

By March 23, 2020Trending

Are you looking for an at-home workout routine?

So, we’re all spending a lot more time at home at the moment, right? (If you’re not, you should be lads!)

As a result of the outbreak of the Coronavirus, we have all been asked to stay inside and social distance to help #flattenthecurve, and halt the spread of the illness. This has resulted in businesses closing down, including, of course, gyms. 

Getting exercise at the moment is tricky, but not impossible guys. There are so many at-home workout routines that we can easily do from the comfort of our homes (or gardens, if you fancy the fresh air). 

So, I reached out to my personal trainer, who gave me a 40 minute at-home workout routine, which I wanted to share with you all. 

AT-HOME WORKOUT

What you’ll need:

  • Two dumbbells (or make shift weights like two bags of sugar – get creative).
  • A yoga mat
  • Water
  • Some bangin’ tunes.
