Many of us have been stuck inside for a few weeks now because of the coronavirus pandemic and might be in the need of exercise.
We asked our friends around town to share how they exercise at home, including Ryan Worley from The Chippendales, Katie Austin (daughter of fitness expert Denise Austin), Clare Roberts from Las Vegas Pilates, Natalia and Alona from the show “Extravaganza" at Bally’s, the Nistorov family from the cast of “Wow” at the Rio, Vivian Whitman with Redemption Fitness Summerlin who demonstrated core exercises, and Renato Fernandes, a single dad and trapeze flyer who gets a little help with his workouts from his twin daughters.
And if the videos above didn’t inspire you, here are 13 suggestions of how you can work out at home.
1. Go for a walk. The benefits of just walking are well documented. It can help reduce heart disease and strengthen your bones and muscles. Of course, make sure you practice social distancing and wear a mask if you are walking in a crowded area. Here are some tips for staying safe while walking (or running).
2. There are many bodyweight workouts that you can do in your home without the need of any equipment or apps. Exercises include the inchworm, tuck jumps, stair climb with biceps curl, burp, plank to push up, clock lunge and many more. Click here for 50 exercises.
3. There are also multiple exercises that you can do with things you may already have in your house like water jugs, wine bottles, bulk-size condiments, a backpack full of books or a paint can. Exercises include the BBQ sauce shoulder press, wine bottle shoulder circuit or water jug bicep curls. Click here for demonstrations and more suggestions.
