We are all well aware of the global pandemic and government urging us to stay home. You've already binged Netflix, cleaned your whole house twice, and organized the snack cabinet. Now to find the motivation to exercise... Good news is it doesn't have to be hard! The following are 5 easy exercises to try right now- and can even do while you're binge-watching your favorite TV show.

  1. Wall sit
    Movement description: sit with your back against the wall, with feet shoulder-width apart about two feet from the wall. Slide down until your hips are in line with your knees and hold the position.

  2. Plank shoulder taps
    Movement description: place hands on the ground shoulder-width apart, directly under the shoulders. Lift knees off the ground, balancing on the toes.
