At this time, a lot is uncertain, but what we do know is that exercise will be of some help. Studies show exercise diverts our brains from the very thing we feel anxious about. Here are some of our favourite social media accounts that will help vary your training from home.

1. Orangetheory

Orangetheory provide technology-tracked HIIT class workouts. They are based on five heart rate zones: very light activity, warm up, challenging but doable, orange effect uncomfortable and all out effort! The instructor aims to get your heart rate into zone 4 for at least twelve minutes to get participants noticeable results.

But Orangetheory has now begun posting home workouts to their Instagram page, between 30-40 minutes in duration. There are two within their posts, but by clicking on the link at the top of their page you will access more via YouTube.

2. Shreddy

Entrepreneur Grace Beverley’s fitness app offers a combination of gym and home workouts for just 33p per day.
