Visiting the gym, unfortunately, is not possible during the Circuit Breaker; the need to maintain social distancing means going for a run outdoors is not encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>Under these circumstances, you may be tempted to give up exercising altogether, but that is hardly wise. If you are working from home, you are likely to be far less active than when you were commuting to work, which makes it even more important for you to incorporate some form of exercise into your day. Besides keeping you physically fit,exercise has psychological benefits as it lowers stress hormones, such as cortisol, and improves feel-good hormones, such as endorphins.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>HIIT<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4947 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_535360564.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_535360564.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_535360564-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_535360564-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_535360564-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_535360564-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a popular fitness regimen that combines short intervals of intense activity followed by a shorter rest period. Freelance fitness instructor Yong Pei Lin feels that HIIT-based programmes are an effective form of workout for those exercising at home: they do not take up too much time (a session can be as short as 10 minutes, says Pei Lin) and enables you to burn more calories in the same amount of time compared to other forms of workouts, such as jogging and weight training. This makes HIIT ideal for people who are busy juggling working from home with parenting duties.<\/p>\n<p>All you need is an exercise mat, and dumbbells or resistance bands if you want to increase intensity and add strength training to your workout. Check out high-quality videos that range from 10 minutes to hour-long workouts from fitness trainers uploaded on YouTube and Instagram. Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"CBWQGb4LyAM\"><iframe title=\"30-Minute No-Equipment Cardio &amp; HIIT Workout\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CBWQGb4LyAM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Yoga<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4948 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1223884696.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1223884696.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1223884696-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1223884696-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1223884696-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1223884696-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Yoga is a good alternative for those who prefer exercises of a lower intensity. Yoga helps build strength, balance and flexibility, and can also relax the body and mind, depending on which form you choose to follow. Ranging from the vigorous ashtanga or power yoga to the gentler yin yoga, there are variations to suit different requirements. What\u2019s more, a yoga routine doesn\u2019t take up too much space.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Online Workouts<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4949 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1602894196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1602894196.jpg 667w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1602894196-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/aa-highway.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/shutterstock_1602894196-120x180.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Many fitness instructors \u2014 yoga, pilates, personal trainers, dance teachers \u2014 have taken to offering their classes online during the Circuit Breaker; some of them are even FOC!
