Due to the recent coronavirus pandemic, gyms are closed, and we all have to stay home. While some may be lucky enough to have gym equipment at home, the majority do not. Fortunately, there are many exercises that can be done at home using just your body weight. The following two workouts will help you maintain your muscle, fitness, and health during the shutdown.

Each workout consists of 7 different exercises. Each exercise should be done one after the other. For example, after 20 body-weight squats, you do 20 lunges, then 10 dips and so on (try to rest as little as possible between each exercise). After completing all 7 exercises (1 set), rest for a few minutes and start over. Try to complete between 2 and 4 sets (this will depend on your fitness levels).

You should aim at doing around 4 workouts a week.

For example:

• Monday: Workout 1
• Tuesday: Workout 2
• Wednesday: Rest
• Thursday: Workout 1
• Friday: Workout 2
• Saturday: Rest
• Sunday: Rest
