FREE HOME WORKOUTS | Stay healthy during Coronavirus Crisis

Now more than ever before, it is important that we take responsibility for our own health in order to protect the health of our society. Many people are choosing to stay at home now, distancing themselves from the public in order to calm the Coronavirus chaos.


People are staying at home because of workplaces and schools shutting down, team soccer training and games are being cancelled, gyms are closing and people are self isolating.


During your stay at home, it's important to stay healthy and active - this means you need to keep up the training, healthy eating, hydration and a good sleeping routine.

Maintain your health and performance at home.

My name is Lucas Kruel and I am the personal trainer of 60+ professional soccer players worldwide. At the moment, I am giving online training to all of my elite athletes who are in home isolation because of the coronavirus. This is a great time to work on functional performance and injury prevention while staying safe at home. Below are my top home workouts for you to do during this time.

Home Workouts

Benefits

  • Affordable - There are many free workouts on the internet and affordable online training available. This is great for people on a budget.
  • Flexible - You can train anywhere, anytime and for whatever duration at home. This is great for people who do not have a lot of time.
  • Zero or minimal equipment is needed - Depending on the workout, you can focus on body weight training and do not need to invest in other equipment.
  • Routine Breaks - Home Workouts are a great opportunity to move your body and give your mind a rest in between home study, work or chores.
  • Maintains Fitness - During the times where you cannot make it to the gym, home workouts are a great way to maintain your health and performance.
  • Safety - As you are not in contact with the public and areas such as gyms, you are exercising in a safe place during the coronavirus crisis.

Trainings Tips

  • Set goals for your self isolation time - Think about what you would like to achieve over the next few weeks at home. Make a workout plan to achieve these goals. 
  • Schedule your training - It's easy to be lazy at home, so set an "appointment" to do your home training and reschedule it immediately if it does not happen. 
  • Challenge yourself - It's sometimes hard to push yourself during the workout without other people around you or a trainer. Ideas to combat this is to purchase an online training program, contact your friends about different training techniques, or search the internet for new workouts and exercises.
  • Stay motivated - If you find it difficult to motivate yourself to train, find out what gives you some energy. Maybe you need to eat something before training, listen to music, get a friend to text you encouragement or get into your active wear.
  • Learn my key training techniques to get maximum benefits while maintaining safety while you train at home.

Before you start...

  • What are your training goals? What do you want to achieve from training? (Learn how to enhance your chance of success with goal setting)How are you feeling? Are you sore, sick, feeling great, lots of energy? If you are not feeling well, it is recommended that you do not train and contact someone if needed. 
  • Are you prepared? Are you wearing comfortable clothes? Do you have a water bottle? Do you have the required equipment? Vamos!
