I signed up for a zoom workout class that was too advanced so when the instructor said do a plank and bring your knee to the opposite elbow, I did a modified version where I turned off my computer and made pancakes

Found a great new workout, its called carting 14 days of groceries down the street and up to my walk-up apartment

Idk what possessed me to think I could just "figure out" how to do yoga at home with a tutorial having never done it before. I really thought I was flexible because I always sit cross-legged on sofas.

Pro tip: wake up in the morning and get right into your workout gear! That way youve got a much higher chance of spending your entire day in workout gear.

Work out during quarantine so you can be like is my body hurting from the exercise or is it the rona

I think its really inspiring that some of you are able to do workout videos all the way thru without just giving up ten minutes in to snack or tweet or both

We get it, people on Instagram. You have enough clear floor spaces to do yoga

GOVERNMENT: You may go out only for one essential grocery trip, and one form of exercise.
— Avery Edison (@aedison) March 29, 2020

Day 4: *just pours the ice cream into the pasta*
If you're at home with a toddler and want to get a good workout just follow your toddler around and do what they do. Bunny jumps, froggy jumps, sitting down and getting up from the couch endlessly will get your heart rate going. I had an intense workout this morning.

My favorite form of cardio is racing around trying to hide the evidence of my snacking as my husband walks into the room after his workout

Best part of at home workouts is definitely the 20 minutes you spend lying on the floor doing nothing to either stall at the start of it, or to avoid moving again at the end (or both)
— Ella Cern (@ellaceron) March 27, 2020
I know some people who are using this time to work out, but what do you do if youre so out of shape that 5 minutes of physical exertion feels pretty much like the same symptoms youre supposed to call 911 for?

Fucking waste of an afternoon. Just did a massive home workout and didnt film any of it.

Anyone else finding themselves weeping during their home workouts or is that just me

Who even has time to exercise with all this extra sitting around to do?

GREAT news. I have been HIRED to lead a 10-minute stretch session in the living room EVERY DAY for husband and dog. I KNEW that pricey yoga certification was gonna pay off someday. Gonna NAIL THIS.

I pulled a muscle and got floaters in my eyes from trying to show my kids how to do a cartwheel so I wont be selling my at-home fitness program after all.

It took the end of the world and a literal qurantine to get me to try yoga again.
— Kat Buckley (@awkwardlyours) March 18, 2020
I entered quarantine basic, and Im gonna leave quarantine basic. My cooking has not improved. I do the exact same amount of half-hearted exercise. I have no shame about this.

Day one: Ill start a cleanse and workout every day until this is over and when I re-emerge from self-isolation, I will be a supermodel.

Day seven: *Sucking instant pudding through a boba straw while playing Animal Crossing in my blanket fort*
Avoiding burpees in the workouts Ive been doing entirely as a kindness to my downstairs neighbor and absolutely not because I hate burpees, why would anyone say that
