As the Coronavirus creates havoc around the world, cities have no option but to lockdown in order to curb its spread. While isolation is the perfect solution to stop the virus from spreading like wildfire, it comes with its own challenges.
Staying at home seems like a blessing when you are in need of a break and swarmed with a seemingly never-ending pile of work, but it doesn’t seem quite appealing when you are ordered to stay at home. Sure you can subscribe to HBO® and catch up on some shows, but that doesn’t work in the long run, right? A frozen social life is the last thing that we millennials look forward to.
While it might be a bit easier to make peace with the idea of staying at home and making it your operational base for everything, but what about your fitness? Are you freaking out because your gym has closed down and you are scared to put on those extra pounds while sitting at home doing nothing?
We understand your dilemma because we are stuck too. But don’t fret. We have some killer suggestions about how you can take care of yourselves from home.
With around 1.5 Million subscribers on YouTube, Leslie Sansone has been inspiring everyone to stay fit from the comfort of their homes.

This is a perfect channel to follow in the current situation, where you shouldn’t be risking yourself by going outside unnecessarily.
The best part about this channel is the exercises are quite easy to follow, so even if you are not involved in heavy training, you can easily catch up.
