I Put Together A Weekly Workout Routine So You Don’t Have To

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Hofstra chapter.

With gyms being closed, it may be hard to find at-home workouts that fit your skills and needs. Even worse, once the semester picks up, it is so hard to find time to exercise. Fear no more! I have put together a 7-day calendar of at-home workouts. Each day targets a different part of your body, using the generously free videos of some of my favorite fitness YouTubers. Even better than that, each day’s workout is no more than 20 minutes long so you can do it anytime you’re free.

This calendar offers four4 different options for each day: a dance/Zumba inspired workout, pilates, HITT and controlled resistance training. Every day, you have the option of picking 1 of the 4 workouts depending on whichever one fits your workout style and/or mood for the day. Although this calendar only lists 7 days, if you use each option, this calendar can last you a full month without repeating a single video!
