Staying Active from the Safety of Home

With gyms closed, yoga studios closed due to the current pandemic, how does one stay fit and active from the comforts and safety of home while trying to do their part to flatten the curve?

You may think it’s difficult to remain active sans gym equipment, but you’ll find with our suggestions listed below, you can still remain active and healthy from within your new home developments in Calgary during this unprecedented time.

Yoga

There’s an inner yogi inside of all of us, and what better place to find him or her than in the comfort of new homes in Calgary? YouTube possesses a wide breadth of easy to follow yoga practices that won’t require anything beyond a yoga mat. Want to up the ante on decompressing and deepening your stretches? New homes in Calgary offer great outdoor yard space that will have you not only reconnecting with nature, but with yourself, too.

HIIT

HIIT (high intensity interval training) is a short workout that requires quick bursts of energy with even quicker resting periods that help you burn a ton of fat and calories. The great thing about HIIT exercises is that they don’t require a huge time investment, and for the most part, you can get away without needing any equipment. The great thing about HIIT workouts is you don’t need a ton of space to do them – participants can readily fulfil their exercise regimen comfortably from within new townhomes in Calgary.

Running

It’s difficult to measure in terms of calories how many you’ll burn when walking or running – however, the more exaggerated your walk or run, the more calories you’re going to inevitably burn. At a minimum, you should aim to hit at least 10,000 steps per day which will help you burn anywhere from 250 to 600 calories per day. You can use smart phone apps that are built-in or rely on trusty smartphone accessories to keep a tally. Take advantage of the lovely trails around Calgary and bask in the great outdoors while maintaining a safe distance.

House and Yard Work

Believe it or not, that quick run through with the vacuum cleaner around your place or pulling out weeds from the garden beds of your new townhomes in AB can contribute to quite the work out. The average person burns approximately 165 calories per hour spent cleaning around the house. Yard work that includes mowing the lawn, planting flowers or pulling weeds can contribute to 200-400 calories lost per hour.
