Focusing on fitness can be a welcome respite from the anxiety caused by the coronavirus . Exercise is a known stress reliever that shifts our minds away from things that are worrying us. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, regular sweat sessions can even help reestablish a sense of normalcy for those who are used to having a workout regimen.

But thats all easier said than done these days. Gyms and fitness studios are likely to be closed for a while. While exercising outside is still a viable option, its becoming harder to feel truly safe doing so. Thats why its crucial to find indoor options that will benefit your body and mind.

The main thing right now is just to stay disciplined. If your goal is to continue working out, then dont use this as an excuse to stop, said Zack DiBenedetto, owner of New Orleans Big Easy Crossfit and part-owner of the F45 Garden District gym. So, if two or three 30-minute at-home workouts a week is what keeps you going and keeps you sane, then I would highly recommend doing those workouts.

Thankfully, there are plenty of free or inexpensive ways to get moving, from fitness apps to online plans to easy-to-learn exercises. Below, we spoke to fitness experts and trainers about the best ways to work out within the constraints of our homes.

Try a free Instagram workout.

While most people turn to Instagram for memes, picturesque images and news on what their friends are doing, the social network is also becoming a hub for workouts as many gyms and personal trainers are taking their expertise online during this time of quarantine.

Check your favorite fitness studios Instagram account or look through posts from celebrity trainers. Many are hosting workouts or offering tips through their pages, sometimes even for free.
