The gyms and swimming pools are all closed because of the coronavirus lockdown, and while we can still get our for a daily run or a walk, that’s scant consolation for anyone who is used to going to the gym every week.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, all is not lost and there is a whole range of exercises you can do at home, with or without any specialist equipment. But when is the best time to exercise? And should you do it all in one go or split your routine throughout the day?<\/p>\n

Previously, we’ve looked at how exercise can help with your work\/life balance<\/a> and now it’s time to come up with some top exercising tips for the home worker and anyone who is affected by lockdown.<\/p>\n And even once we’re all out of lockdown, just because you work from home, it doesn’t mean you just get to the gym whenever you feel like. If anything, there always something that gets in the way of giving your body a much-needed workout, be that unexpected deadlines, long commutes or overrun client meetings.<\/p>\n So, instead of getting out to the gym, it could be a good idea to bring the gym home – not only can this save on travel time (not something we have to worry about in the current climate) but can also mean you can mix up your routine to include some fun exercises you might not feel confident enough to try in a public gym.<\/p>\n Another benefit of being a home worker could be that you don’t end up going to the gym in your lunch time or straight after work and end up ‘talking shop’ to a colleague on the machine next to you.<\/p>\n So here are our top exercise tips for the flexible worker.<\/p>\n Getting out for a run on lockdown is great at first – any way to get out of the house for a bit is a bonus – but slogging the same route every day can get pretty tiresome. Downloading a smartphone app like “Zombies, Run<\/a>” (below) can help give that jog around the block that extra edge.<\/p>\nTop lockdown exercises tips for remote workers<\/h2>\n
