Working out while social distancing

   During these times, there’s a bunch of things we’re all missing, like the gym. While some gyms are open nowadays, working out at home is still the safest option for getting exercise. Because of this, I’ve been using this app called Obé to get my daily exercise. From Pilates to HIIT, this app has tons of different workouts to choose between. The workouts are 30 minutes long, but they also offer 10-minute express classes. These express classes are perfect for the days where you’re on a time-crunch and need a quick workout. Many of these shorter classes also focus on specific areas of the body, such as abs, legs, or arms. These classes are available to watch live or you can watch pre-recorded classes on demand. The live classes are especially fun and energizing because they really make you feel involved. They also have a bunch of different instructors to pick from - my fav is Walter Kemp. His classes are pretty challenging but are such a fun time. He also has a motivational speaker vibe that I think really pushes you to do your best in class. Out of everything I’ve tried throughout quarantine, Obé has definitely been my fav.

   Not only has working out at home been nice but dressing for the occasion has helped as well. During quarantine, I went through a major workout clothes phase. I bought a bunch of new workout sets and wore them almost every day, even when I wasn’t working out. I loved getting matching sets, and honestly, it helped motivate me to workout even more. Some of my fav places to get workout sets were Set Active, Gymshark, and JoyLab from Target. I’ll insert my fav sets down below. What are your thoughts on working out at home? Let me know down below!
