Expert Tips for Exercising at Home Apr 10, 2020 Cara Martinez Share Tweet Post With millions of people across the nation now working from home and many gyms and workout studios closed, Cedars-Sinai physical therapist Josh Chambers says staying active and mobile is more important than ever. "Changing from being active to living a more static, sedentary lifestyle can contribute to flare-ups of previous musculoskeletal injuries, as well as to the onset of new pain and stiffness," says Josh. "It’s also important in this time where respiratory health is vital, to stay mobile through activities like daily walks, online workouts or a home routine." Read: 5 Tips for Healthy Working From Home Habits To help maintain energy, flexibility and stamina, Josh has created the following at-home exercise routine, which can be easily modified based on individual needs.

Walking for endurance and cardio Start a walking program if you are comfortable being outdoors. If you come into contact with anyone, remain at a 6-foot distance. For those unable to leave their home, Josh recommends creating a walking pathway within the home to maintain or improve cardiovascular endurance.
