Let's face it, it's hard to stay in shape during the corona and in such weather conditions. Gyms, fitness centers and sports fields are currently closed, so fitness experts recommend these practical exercises that you can do at home to stay in shape until spring.
We must always keep in mind that it is very important to keep fit. That's why fitness experts recommend these three exercises, which can be done without any problems between the four walls and with which we will quickly get in shape (if we haven't already). It's enough for training just 10 minutes a day!
1. Wide squats
