EXCLUSIVE: Bodyweight exercises that can be done everyday to build stamina

With social distancing still being an unwritten norm, going to the gym and exercising in outdoor spaces remains difficult for most individuals. Most fitness enthusiasts miss their weight training and many others have tried to accommodate basic gym equipment such as cycles and treadmills at home. However, in the absence of proper gym equipment, simple body weight exercises can also be very effective and help increase stamina, stability, and strength. Bodyweight exercises may help get very effective results. They use compound movements that engage several joints and muscles with each move. This makes exercises like push-ups and lunges extremely effective for improved strength and fitness. 

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s never been more important for us to exercise regularly and keep our body’s immune defences strong. And while motivation might be hard to come by sometimes, exercise is crucial for physical and mental health. Exercise can improve overall health and it can also lower our levels of stress, giving us a much-needed break from worry and anxiety.
