If you are keen to adopt the healthiest lifestyle you can in these strange, unique times, you will certainly feel the benefit. Better sleep, better mindset and breaking up the day are all huge rewards gained by keeping fit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here are my top 5 tips on staying active during lockdown.<\/p><div id=\"paisa-3298344457\" class=\"paisa-content paisa-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4h8j21D\" aria-label=\"blog banner app popup copy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2025\/03\/06184200\/blog-banner-app-popup-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"300\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1 \u2013 #HASHTAG<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"440\" class=\"wp-image-18195\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/img.paisawapas.com\/ovz3vew9pw\/2020\/04\/16215321\/hastag.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215321\/hastag.png 719w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215321\/hastag-300x264.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Want to exercise but don\u2019t have much time in between online lessons? Look no further than social media. Instagram is currently awash with #HomeWorkouts. From our favourite sporting stars to personal trainers, there are so many to choose from. They\u2019re mainly short, sharp workouts and, looking at the hashtag, cater for a huge variety of fitness levels: from entry all the way up to hard cardio workouts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>No dumbbells? No worries. Tins of beans, loo roll (who has that spare?), and other household items all feature as equipment alternatives. Get scrolling!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2 \u2013 HOUSEWORK<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"486\" class=\"wp-image-18199\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/img.paisawapas.com\/ovz3vew9pw\/2020\/04\/16215854\/housework.jpeg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215854\/housework.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215854\/housework-300x291.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215854\/housework-768x746.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Kill 2 birds with 1 stone and get cleaning! Having to stay in so much, you\u2019ll feel so much better in nice, clean surroundings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re stuck at home, there are ways you can stay active and continue your workout routine \u2013 and some of these require very little or no equipment. If you are lucky enough to own an exercise bike or treadmill, then you will already be accustomed to this in-house way of keeping fit. But if these are not possible then any activity that raises the heart rate is good for cardiovascular health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Cleaning the windows? 150 calories in 30 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gardening? Up to 200 calories for 30 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Cleaning the whole flat can be the equivalent of a 5-mile run!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Try walking briskly around the house or up and down the stairs. And stand or walk around when you\u2019re on the phone, rather than sitting down. Dancing is also a great way to keep active, especially with children, so putting on some music for ten to 15 minutes, two or three times each day can really contribute to the daily exercise quota.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 \u2013 Happy inside, Happy outside<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"269\" class=\"wp-image-18197\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/img.paisawapas.com\/ovz3vew9pw\/2020\/04\/16215336\/YOGA-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215336\/YOGA-1.jpeg 454w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215336\/YOGA-1-300x161.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re always been a fan of open air workouts. Find a place in your house, your building compound or terrace where you can exercise. Use equipment which is handy and easily available like skipping ropes. Make a family member your workout buddy to make it less boring. It&#8217;s great fun to have your child\/ partner being a part of your workout routine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4 \u2013 GET APP- Freeletics<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"335\" class=\"wp-image-18194\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/img.paisawapas.com\/ovz3vew9pw\/2020\/04\/16215313\/fitness-tracker-alternatives-gear-patrol-lead-full-.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215313\/fitness-tracker-alternatives-gear-patrol-lead-full-.jpg 970w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215313\/fitness-tracker-alternatives-gear-patrol-lead-full--300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215313\/fitness-tracker-alternatives-gear-patrol-lead-full--768x515.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In these thoroughly modern times, of course there is an app for it.

Based on your level of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/loose-weight-5-diet-recipes\/\">fitness,<\/a> it creates a weekly plan with varied and articulated daily sessions \u2013 usually around 40 minutes each. Each movement is shown in a handy video clip, and each exercise features a timer that lets you know when you have to proceed to the next series. There is no trainer persona \u2013 only a raspy, no-nonsense voice counting down before you start \u2013 but that is absolutely on-brand<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5 \u2013 Step-ups<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"wp-image-18196\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/img.paisawapas.com\/ovz3vew9pw\/2020\/04\/16215328\/step-up-leg-lift.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215328\/step-up-leg-lift.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215328\/step-up-leg-lift-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/img.paisawapas\/images\/2020\/04\/16215328\/step-up-leg-lift-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Things you can use for this: a step, a low bench, a toddler\u2019s chair &#8211; anything that won\u2019t move and can comfortably take your weight. Stand in front, step up with one foot, bring the other up, stand up on the step. Step backwards using the same leg. Repeat on the other side. So basically it\u2019s a constant up-and-down but each time you are alternating your \u2018lead\u2019 foot. Try to keep your back nice and straight again and your core braced. Do as many reps as you can until you feel like your form is starting to go a bit. Maybe keep a count of how many that is, and aim for a few more next time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Stay active, Stay safe and Take care.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were already fit and had hobbies like cycling, running or going to the gym, the transition to lockdown life may not be as difficult as you think.
