Why basic principles? Because our bodies perceive exercise as a stimulus irrespective of the setting. Therefore, we can apply and manipulate this stimulus in the home environment to elicit the same desired response like increased strength, fitness, or muscle tone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The simplest way to work out at home is to use your own body. I found a variety of effective body weight exercises on YouTube that help build strength, endurance and burn calories. And by circuit training (going from one exercise to the next, without little or no rest), you keep your heart rate up, burn more calories and get the most out of your exercise time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Body-weight HIIT workouts are relatively short and don&#8217;t take up much space. Best of all, they don&#8217;t require any equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5370\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5370\" style=\"width: 386px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5370\" src=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1-277x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"386\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1-768x832.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1-945x1024.jpg 945w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1-388x420.jpg 388w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1-640x694.jpg 640w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Exercise1-1.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5370\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exercising at home does not have to be a costly affair<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Training at home doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive. To add some variation to my bodyweight workouts I have invested in a set of resistance bands costing a mere fraction of what my monthly gym membership would have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Most mornings I am feeling motivated to do my daily 40-minute bodyweight and resistance band routine, but even with the best of intentions, some days I find my motivation waning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">For this reason, it&#8217;s important to set goals, big and small, and to schedule your workouts and keep track of your progress. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">It&#8217;s helpful to record the level of resistance you use, how many repetitions of an exercise you do and how many sets of exercises you complete determining when you need to change up your routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Moreover, staying at home tends to mean more eating and less moving which means that it is a struggle to burn as many calories as usual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There is a lot of research that indicates that when people are in a crisis when they are highly stressed, one of the first things that will change is their eating behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There are physiological reasons that the body tends to crave high-calorie and high-sugar foods during stressful times, as these foods provide short-term bursts of energy. It is imperative now more than ever to get your diet right.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span class=\"s3\">A good diet is always beneficial, but when you&#8217;re in your late 40\u2019s and desk-bound, as I am, it becomes especially important to your overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Stress leads to elevated cortisol levels, which can increase appetite. And sugary foods generate dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with motivation and reward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s3\">Protein is especially <\/span><span class=\"s1\">crucial for health, particularly in times when the immune system might need to fight back. <\/span><span class=\"s3\">If like me you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, you have plenty of plant-based proteins such as kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas, and edamame to choose from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Finally, if ever there was a time to apply the power of positive thinking, this is it. Seeing the closure of gyms as less as a blow to your fitness, and more as a chance to switch things up and progress.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When compared to the spectre of death and global economic collapse, gym closures seem pretty low on the list of calamities caused by the pandemic, but exercise is particularly important now because it boosts us physically and mentally.
