Free Workout Streaming Services You Can Isolate With at Home

FROM YOGA TO HIIT, IT’S STILL POSSIBLE TO GET A GOOD SWEAT SESSION IN FROM YOUR OWN LIVING ROOM.

By Jordan Smith | 18 March 2020

Let’s get ready to isolate! The coronavirus pandemic has many gyms closing—either out of precaution or due to local health orders—and has us cyclists practicing social distancing to help mitigate the virus spread. But that doesn’t mean working out safely has to stop.

We have all been told to self isolate, as far as possible, to slow the spread of coronavirus. Solo outdoor riding (while keeping an appropriate distance from others and practicing good etiquette) or at home on a trainer (if you have one) is a great way to maintain your miles. It’s even possible to get in an effective HIIT workout for stress relief, even if you just use your own body weight. Plus, practicing yoga can help you recover after a ride or help you get your mind right and stretch out after a day of hunching over a screen, whether you’re in an office or working from home on your couch.

It is hard to isolate, to keep motivating yourself to mix up your workouts—or make time for them at all—can be hard. The good news is that many gyms are offering free apps or streaming services during this time that can replace your regular gym routine, and help keep up with your training, or introduce you to a new workout you may not have considered before. From trying a new HIIT session to starting up a yoga practice, these free apps will ensure you get a good at-home workout at a time you might need it most.
