Since the pandemic prompted many to start working from home, our bodies need to adapt to far less energy expenditure than before. The least number of steps we used to take to our commute, up a flight of stairs and around the office, have all been significantly reduced.
Now our commute is from the bed to the desk-if we are yet to use a portable desk, we can bring it to bed. Thus, a working-from-home exercise routine is both timely and a necessity.
Working from Home Exercise Routine: Why Do It?
Motivation
Your reason for exercising from home will push you through sets of push-ups, mountain climbers, and burpees that seem too hard to complete. But good habits build up over time, and once exercise becomes a habit, your body will reward you as it will become easier to exercise.

The pandemic inspired many to start doing things they never thought they could do before- perhaps things they put off doing because they were too busy. One example is the 51-year-old mom working as a tour guide for 30 years and only stopped because of the pandemic. While the tourism industry was hit badly, the mom would start a home-based business and share her success story.
Hobby Turned Homebased Business
Josephine Wee had been making homemade cookies for her children even before the pandemic. My children love what I bake, and they were the ones who told me, Mom, you should be selling these. But, the mom was stopped in her tracks whenever she thought that selling to strangers would be a lot harder, a different kind of standard.
