There are some useful exercise tips online that you can follow to stay healthy, and studies show that exercising is beneficial for your physical health and can be a great means to reduce stress and anxiety, something very useful during these uncertain times.

Get Tested For COVID-19 In New York

Here are three simple and easy exercise tips while you’re in quarantine and maintaining social distancing:

1. Watch YouTube Workouts

YouTube has tons of great videos on simple and easy-to-do exercises, most hosted by professional trainers. Try to find sessions at least 20 to 30 minutes long, so you get the most out of a daily workout.

2. Use A Free Fitness App

If you are on the go, there are plenty of free apps that feature various workouts. Apps like Yoga for Beginners feature free 10-minute workouts that boost energy and help with flexibility and toning. The Daily Workouts app features a series of 10, 20, or 30-minute workouts targeted toward abs, arms, legs, or the full body.

3. Take A Walk

Just taking a 30-minute walk a day can make a difference. According to the Mayo Clinic, walking can help reduce heart disease risk, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your mood. Suppose you are worried about leaving the house. In that case, keep a six-foot distance between yourself and others and wear a mask, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
