Fit for summer: workouts from home

It's a crazy time, because of the coronavirus most people are at home, the pubs are closed (very unfortunate), but also the gyms are closed for the time being. WHAT NOW?!

Especially during this period it is very important to take good care of yourself and your body. Sports can even help against depression! Professor of clinical neuropsychology Erik Scherder, who conducts research in this field, says in Trouw: “Most people don't know that with physical exercise you also work on your memory, on your cognitive (mental) functions. (…) It has a beneficial effect on all sorts of areas: on your resistance, on your mood, on your day/night rhythm (…)”. This emphasizes how important it is to keep moving, even when we are sitting at home. And you know what the best part is? You now have all the time you need to work on your summer body!!!! Because we don't have to go anywhere!!!

To keep you moving, I have put together my favorite home workouts for you; so you can keep moving from your living room/student room/garden to get more energy and work on your summer body (awesome!)!!
