Easy exercises you can do at home during the coronavirus Pandemic

2854

During this pandemic infection by coronavirus, governments and WHO have recommended to stay home and labeled it as a lockdown. This virus is so deadly that it spreads without any clue from one individual to another through the breath. The saliva droplets in the breath can rapidly lead to the transmission of the disease. It is, therefore, essential for the citizens and the government to maintain social distancing and to avoid any close contact with each other. The more we stay away from each other and make ourselves isolated, the less we lead to the transmission of the disease.

Washing your hands frequently, keeping yourself clean, and maintaining a social distance, eating healthy foods, consuming vitamin and supplements are essential preventive measures which keep us away from coronavirus. With lock-down maintained, all of us must take care of our health and perform basic exercises at home to maintain ourselves in shape. With this curfew going on, all our health centers, gyms, and workout places are out of reach, but mental and physical health is essential to stay fit and smart. Have a look at the basic exercises which you can do at home during the corona outbreak:
