Hopefully you are safe out there and respecting social distancing practices as we all endure the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time of uncertainty, having a workout provided can ease some mental strain. As a strength and conditioning coach I've found myself doing more workouts that other coaches have written in an effort to save mental space for doing my job on a day-to-day basis. It's really helped and may be something I continue doing after all of this is behind us.
Below you'll find an at-home workout for self-quarantining. All you'll need is a little floor space and a timer of some kind. There are many gyms out there providing online training services and it may help to utilize their services to find some consistency in your at-home training. Reach out to your local gym for guidance.
