Don't put your feet up<\/h2>\n
A healthy body is the basis for an active life. In addition to a diet that does not consist exclusively of pasta, white flour products and canned food, a fit body is your best bulwark in the corona crisis.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Firstly, to give the virus as little chance as possible to knock you out.<\/li>\n
- And secondly, so that you can continue to invest your energy where it is urgently needed in troubled times - with your family, in your role as an important specialist in your company and as a volunteer for the emergency services, fire department and the like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Putting your feet up would be the wrong decision here. Fortunately, you don't even need a gym to stay fit during the corona crisis. A comprehensive workout is possible with simple equipment that you already have at home. If you work out in your home gym anyway, you naturally have an advantage.<\/p>\n
\"The axe in the house replaces the carpenter\"<\/h2>\n
True to the motto \"the axe in the house replaces the carpenter\", it's a good idea to order some fitness equipment. Depending on your requirements, it doesn't have to be a weight station or a dumbbell set with 150 kilograms of additional weight. You can achieve a lot at home with just a pair of dumbbells thanks to a wide variety of training methods. Elastic training bands or sling trainers are also very effective and inexpensive for a comprehensive body workout.<\/p>\n
Bodyweight training within your own four walls<\/h2>\n
But you can also do it without dumbbells, even if this limits your options somewhat. Nevertheless, you can still train with classic exercises such as various Push-up<\/a>, Pull-up<\/a> and Squat variations<\/a> achieve a lot. Comprehensive Abdominal training<\/a> is possible using just your body weight on the living room carpet. With a little ingenuity, you can even do isolation exercises for your shoulders, biceps and triceps.<\/p>\n
Before we get to what an exemplary training plan could look like, let's get a little creative and show you how you can turn household items into training equipment. Even if they don't replace the gym, it's better than nothing during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n
Be inventive:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Use a stable and non-tipping kitchen chair for dips.<\/li>\n
- Load a rucksack full of water bottles (or flour) and use it as extra weight for push-ups, pull-ups, squats and the like.<\/li>\n
- Steps and edges are an ideal basis for calf training in order to strain the muscles over as large a range of motion as possible.<\/li>\n
- Perform rowing exercises or close bench presses using drinks crates.<\/li>\n
- Beverage crates are also ideal for step-ups and the like.<\/li>\n
- If you have a partner, partner workouts are a good idea. Here you use your partner's body weight as resistance.<\/li>\n
- Use filled rucksacks, canisters for ironing water or other heavy objects as dumbbell substitutes for isolation exercises. This at least reminds many men that their first contact with weight training consisted of bicep curls with a satchel. Is it true or are we right?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Put together a varied workout<\/h2>\n
If you don't have the opportunity to do a split workout due to a lack of training equipment, for example, you can put together a varied full-body workout using bodyweight exercises.<\/p>\n
You can do this in a circuit, for example, with short breaks after each round. This also trains your cardiovascular system and strengthens your entire body.
