6. The options may seem limited, but in truth, even
walking around the house for 20 minutes is
considered exercise. There are plenty of ways to
stay in shape despite being quarantined. Some of
these methods include:
Push-ups
Sit-ups
Jogging in place
Jumping rope
Lifting weights
Doing yoga
Watching a tutorial on a certain exercise
Using a treadmill
Using an elliptical
Stretching

7. Granted, no one has to do every one of these methods to stay in
shape. Just go with whatever is most comfortable and easy to do.
However, it's important for people to pace themselves and only do
as much as their limit allows. With how limited everyone's
movement has become, it can seem almost impossible to stay in
shape. However, with a little creativity, it's easy to stay shape and
maybe even lose a pound or two.
