The days of COVID-19 are upon us. With the highly contagious disease spreading, we’re encountering the toilet paper apocalypse and the need to stay home all day everyday. So it’s pretty easy to gravitate towards the Ben & Jerry’s, a family size bag of Doritos, and do absolutely nothing on the couch. We’re just waiting for the 15 pounds to hit and our endorphin levels to drop. We know those sweatpants may feel mighty cozy right about now, but we all might be quoting the lunch table moment from Mean Girls fairly soon, “Sweatpants are all that fits me right now.” To avoid the Quarantine-15 here’s some easy ways to stay happy and healthy while staying at home.

Virtual Yoga

Peace, serenity, and a nice workout. Many Salt Lake City studios are offering virtual yoga classes from Ashtanga to flow to Vinyasa. If you’re a hot yoga kind of guy or gal, you can always turn the thermostat up an obscene temperature, we approve of that.

Diverse Workout Classes

Sitting at home could get quite boring and so could repeating the same type of exercise everyday. These local Salt Lake City gyms and studios are offering classes from virtual boxing all the way to Pilates and barre. If Zumba intimidated you before COVID 19, have no fear, because the only one watching your uncoordinated hip sway is probably just going to be your cat.

Although some of the classes may require a tension band or even a skateboard (check out the creativity coming from Peak 45 on Instagram), most just require you and a device that connects to the internet.
