Trainers Offer At-Home Workouts During the Pandemic Personal Trainers Offering At Home Workouts During Pandemic

HORODYSKI : As the coronavirus pandemic continues to sweep across New York state, fitness centers and gyms are being forced to close their doors, leaving anyone looking to stay in shape having to rely on their home gym. So wirth many stuck at home without any proper equipment or with, well, whatever they got, how are people staying fit? I spoke with Michael Canino and Erik Zayher, trainers for Move the Needle nutrition, about how they, like other nutritional programs, are keeping clients healthy online.

ZEYHER: Since there has been a huge switch to everything online, it’s been great because so many people are putting out online programs. It’s so creative and there is so much content. You google “home workout” and what used to be a niche market is very much like everyone is creating their own home workouts now. So there is a lot of opportunity for creativity right now within this place.

HORODYSKI: Zeyher says air squats, burpees, and sit ups are all great little workouts that you can do at home, and Canino believes that little things like this could be exactly what some people need.

CANINO: In terms of providing so motivation, it could be a great way to add some structure to your day. Especially with a lot of people having to work form home and not being able to commute, a lot of structure throughout their day has been taken away from their day this could be a great way to wake up and do your body weight exercise or go for a walk or a run to start your day off on the right foot. And then you can go about the rest of your work and other personal responsibilities you have throughout the day.

HORODYSKI: So when it comes to staying fit during this pandemic, much like other facets of American life right now, sometimes the best you can do is the best you can do. And just make sure you take things one step at a time. Mason Horodyski, N-C-C News.
