Finding motivation during quarantine has gradually gotten harder and harder for me to do. I sleep in past noon, forget school assignments, and binge-watch too much "Westworld."
But that's okay. This new reality is nowhere near normal, and we shouldn't feel guilty about having bad days. What I've found is that working out earlier in my day is what keeps me on track for the most part.
This might be different for you. It's all about finding what works with your body and making sure you're taking good care of yourself.
Below I compiled my go-to workout that I have done almost every day since being in quarantine. Of course, some days are duds and I barely get anything done. That's okay. Just keep pushing forward and try to see the best in every day.
1. Jog 1-2 miles
Sometimes I do more, sometimes I do less. It all depends on how my body is feeling and listening to it! I also walk this sometimes if I'm really feeling unmotivated.
2. Ab Circuit
Repeat all of this two times (three if you're feeling good).
20 crunches
20 Russian twists
20 toe touches
20 bicycle crunches
20 leg lifts
20 butterfly kicks
20 reverse crunches
20 side crunches (each side)
30-second plank
20 hip dip planks (each side)
3. Booty CircuitĀ
Try to do this one to two times through!
20 sumo squats
20 plie squats with heel raises
30 pulse squats
20 in & out squats
30 fire hydrants
20 hip bridges with extensions (each side)
30 clamshells
I hope these fun and quick workouts keep you motivated and healthy during this scary time. If these don't do it for you, YouTube has some amazing workout videos to follow and they definitely get you sweating. Good luck!
