The NHS app has seen a 60% increase in alerts this last week as coronavirus restrictions ease and we’re getting out and about more and more. Some of our members at CrossFit DireWolf have had notifications to isolate, and with that comes FOMO (fear of missing out) at the gym! So we’ve put together a 7 day home workout programme to help them keep active while they wait it out.
We all know by now that exercise is so important for multiple reasons in terms of physical and mental health, and that’s why we’ve made this free programme available to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.
Home workouts for strength & heart rate
If you and a few friends are all isolating, why not set up your own Zoom Call, FaceTime, or Video Call, and workout together? There’s two components to each workout; one for strength, and then one to raise the heart rate. There’s a bodyweight version of each workout if you’ve no kit available at home, but you can wear a weighted rucksack, fill up an old milk bottle, or even grab a couple of tins of beans!
