Amid the current coronavirus pandemic, we have all been forced to stay cooped up at home. The country is under a lockdown to help flatten the curve and slow the rate of the COVID-19’s spread. Practicing social distancing and self-isolation at our homes naturally restricts our physical activity. You may lose track of all your daily workouts while at home, which may affect your well-being. Fortunately, there are a number of simple exercises that you can do in the comfort of your four walls. Here are some of these home workouts you can follow to keep yourself fit and healthy during the pandemic.

1. Push ups 

The simple exercise of a push up can be done anywhere, with absolutely no equipment required. It targets the upper body muscles including triceps, pectoral muscles, and shoulders. Pushups are also an effective exercise for building core strength. Abhijeet Khandkekar, who plays the role of Gurunath in Mazhya Navryachi Bayko, prefers doing pushups to keep himself fit during the quarantine.
