Working out at home can be a chore, to say the least. Without the laser-focus that comes with being at the gym, it’s difficult to escape all of the responsibilities that are waiting to be addressed at every corner of your home. If that isn’t challenging enough, motivating yourself to get down to the nitty-gritty of a workout seems impossible at times, especially when it’s just you. But thanks to the wide world of social media during quarantine, the trainers have come to you.
For most of us, this is just the push we need - so consider this to be a sign! To start, charge up your laptop or phone, an Instagram account and some comfortable, breathable clothing (trust us). Each of these trainers is unique, so check them out and find your perfect match!
