If you’re homebound and working remotely, it can be stressful trying to manage your new routine. If you have kids, you have to keep track of their schooling. If you have a significant other working from home as well, you have to manage the appropriate times to communicate. In addition to these new challenges, your new work environment can make exercise a challenge. But with a little creativity, you can burn calories and build muscle wherever you are.

If it’s hard to find the time to squeeze in a workout due to your new schedule, think about how you spent your time during your conventional routine. Take the time you would normally use for your commute to burn some calories!

It can be hard to exercise at home if you lack the equipment you normally use at the gym. However, you can burn the calories you need and build the muscle you want even with free-weight exercises! Push-ups, planks, squats, and leg lifts are all great ways to help build muscle and stay on track with your exercise goals.

As everyone in your household is making the most of the room you have, it can be hard to find a good place to do some bodyweight exercises. If you have a home office, rearrange things to ensure you have enough room to lay on the floor spread out like your making angles in the snow. It sounds corny, but it’s a good rule of thumb if your home office is a little cramped. If you don’t have a home office, the garage is also a great space with plenty of room. Otherwise, you can use the rooms in your home you know no one will be using for a time.
