I feel like a fish out of water without my daily workout schedule at the gym. Since nearly all gyms are currently closed, virtual workouts are where it’s at. So many of my gal pals are addicted to their Peloton workouts because it’s a great way to burn fat and calories without having to leave the house.  Look into these workouts proven to burn over 300 calories with a 20-minute workout. Not to mention the instructors are so darn motivating. Peloton is just one of many home fitness workout platforms and apps available to you.

Research Shows Working Out Alone Is Motivating

In fact, a University of Michigan study found that those who worked out at home had increased motivation and performed better than when they were alone. It all came down to the fact they were alongside “superior” players. This suggests that when people work out virtually, the fact that they are exercising alongside leading fitness professionals on-screen may help them raise the bar and improve performance. The key is staying motivated to work out, check out these tips.
