Life at home for weeks might not help to get that summer body you promised yourself for your New Year’s resolution. Fortunately, we have the internet, where you can choose from millions of workouts, gymnastics and programs! If you’re really persistent, you can get yourself in great shape by the end of this epidemic. Here are some super tips on where to start your research!
When it was first announced that everyone is advised to stay home and work from home office for two weeks because of the coronavirus, you must have breathed a sigh of relief: you can finally skip a few workouts without remorse and not feel guilty for enjoying the pleasant silence of the apartment. Well, since then, the situation has intensified, so that more and more homes across the country have become almost like a prison, in which more and more people turned to sweets to provide consolation in their boredom, loneliness and anxiety. And if you too feel like you have consumed more peanut butter in recent days than the whole previous year, this article is for you! We’ve collected Flatco’s favorite YouTube workouts and handed them over to you as a tempting invitation to move. Get off the couch, the apartment now turns into a gym for an hour a day!
Pilates and yoga
You can work not only on your body but also on your soul if you subscribe to “Bailey Brown” and “Yoga with Adriene“. The first one is a specialist in ground exercises that result in a slim figure (and as a bonus, she mostly records her videos on the beautiful Australian coast, so sunshine is guaranteed), and the second one is a wizard of asana that beginners can easily follow step by step but can also fit more advanced yogis. They’re both nice people, hard enough as coaches, and you’ll also find 30-day challenges made by them that are perfect for a lockdown. You’ll find plenty of content on both of their channels, so you can choose accordinh to your taste!
High-intensity workouts
If you want more agile, harder workouts it’s not a problem – we show you two channels where your heart rate is guaranteed to spin! “Body Project” delivers the craziest sets of cardio exercises to your living room, and with boxing elements makes exercise even more challenging. And Well, at the risk of not sounding too tempting: if the constantly yelling personal trainer is your genre, we recommend Body Coach TV! The lessons may need some equipment, but a pair of kettlebells or hand-held weights purchased online can be the key to fast and efficient fat burning and toning!
Customized combo from Hungarian classics
“Alexandra Béres” might be over the hill. But Hungary’s number one fitness lady has also published her previous DVDs online, so you can spend basically endless hours doing her training plan. However, the real advantage of the feed is that in addition to the classic lessons, you can find countless ten-minute blocks including everything from warming up to footwork to moving the deep back muscles to shaping the arms, and you can play them one after the other. That means no two workouts are the same, and you can focus on the exact muscle group you want to work on the most!
+Tip from Flatco:
According to our personal experience, even if we are fanatically passionate about a YouTube coach, if we only do similar trainings for a long time, we get tired of it rather quickly. Therefore, take our word for it and put together good little weekly mixes for yourself! After a hard fat burning on Monday, a yoga stretch that stretches all muscles can follow on Tuesday, hardcore cardio again on Wednesday. You will skip the Thursday anyway (its ok everyone does), and on Friday you can boost your mood to your Saturday afternoon weightlifting with a little dancing. What do you think? Shall we start?
