With the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown, we are all trying to bring some normality into our lives.

In these difficult times, we must remember the importance of maintaining a routine in all areas of our lives and exercising should not be an exception.

We all know that hygienic walks should be done consciously. However, most physical exercise should be done in isolation and individually and/or as a family, using the most appropriate equipment.

How to stay in shape during lockdown: benefits and equipment

For everything to go well during this complicated period in our lives, we need to find a balance between teleworking, distance learning and other activities that are important for our physical, mental and emotional health.

In fact, physical exercise is essential not only to exercise the body, but also to “calm” the mind. This helps us maintain our quality of life, avoiding a sedentary lifestyle and reducing anxiety levels and the risk of depression.

Exercising at home has some advantages, namely:

– Avoid travel;

– Freedom to exercise at any time;

– Reduce expenses;

– Being able to transport the material anywhere;

– Reduce the possibility of contracting COVID-19 disease.

However, in order to exercise at home, we need specific, simple and versatile equipment. This equipment should allow us to perform a variety of activities without taking up too much space, even when it comes to storage. Here are some examples:

As we have seen, it is essential to stay active, especially when we are at home for a longer period of time due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, physical exercise plays a key role in managing stress, promoting more restful sleep, releasing endorphins, which make us feel good, and promoting positive emotions.
