Virtual Exercise Instruction
The internet is an amazing resource for high-quality exercise instruction that allows you to engage in no or low-cost physical activity from the comfort of your own home.
Let’s explore the options available to you!
You will notice that there are links to both free and paid classes for each category for exercise. Generally, most free classes are accessed via YouTube and may satisfy your needs. Paid content usually carries higher production quality (e.g. video, sound, quality of instruction), lack of advertising, and an exercise library that is easier to navigate. Most paid sites also have free-trial periods, so feel free to try the various options available before paying for services.
Yoga Classes
There are countless yoga programs available to experiment with on the internet. Finding instructors that teach at an appropriate level for you and inspire you to show up regularly to practice can be the key factor in establishing an exercise routine. Be open to trying classes with various instructors before deciding if yoga is right for you.
HIIT Classes
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a form of exercise characterized by short bursts of exercise followed by short periods of rest. Programs often use intervals of 30-60 seconds of exercise with similarly brief rest intervals. HIIT training is a great way to build strength and cardiovascular fitness regardless of your current fitness. Classes usually utilize minimal or no equipment, making this form of exercise very accessible.
Dance
Dance is a wonderful form of physical activity that allows us to improve our heart health, endurance, mobility, and coordination all while learning skills to have more fun at your next party. Concerns about your two left feet? All the more reason to get some practice in, from the comfort of your home.
