Exercises to convey if you are still avoiding the gym
I love to exercise and I’m still reluctant to go to the gym in person. After all, the security of entering a shared gym during the pandemic is up for debate. So, for now, I’m using training that I can transmit from the comfort of my living room. But streaming exercise programs are not always an easy space to navigate. You have to find an instructor that you like, moves that you can do and something that doesn’t require a lot of equipment. Some are easier than others in an apartment, especially a small one. In addition, when it comes to streaming, some are more expensive than others. Yes, the price range is wide: there are free fitness tutorials that you can stream on YouTube, and there are those that require equipment like the Peloton bike or that Mirror workout you’ve seen throughout Insta. We’ve put together a list of some of our favorites to help you exercise at home, no matter what you’re doing. At Refinery29, we are here to help you navigate this oppressive world of things. All of our market choices are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect price and availability at the time of publication.
