The Best Home Exercise Programmes To Try When You're Stuck At Home
It’s the end of the workday, you’re exhausted, and your gym bag, which you thoughtfully packed this morning, is now taunting you. Sound familiar? Switching to a home exercise programme could be your solution to the daily pull between sweating it out at the gym or lounging in your sweats at home. It's even more helpful at times when you're working from home (like now), allowing you to accomplish your workout routine without having to go outside.
The art of the home exercise programmes has come a long way, and popular boutique studios are now offering digital subscriptions to studio devotees and exercise novices alike. Whether you are looking to wind down in the evenings with a yoga flow or get in a sweat session while your laundry is in the dryer, there’s a home workout out there that fits your goals.
Sky Ting TV
Brought to you by the yoga studio of choice for chic (and stressed) New Yorkers, Sky Ting TV offers yoga flows for all skill levels, ranging from five-minute sun salutations to hour-long detox classes. The videos are shot in a sun-drenched studio replete with lush greenery, bringing the zen atmosphere of Sky Ting’s downtown Manhattan location right to your living room.
