I’m writing this article at a time when the world is taking an unexpected turn, going through the coronavirus pandemic.
Why am I telling you this? Because as a result of the pandemic, the exercise trend has increased, with social networks and digital platforms being the means to reach people.
While doing sports for many people is part of their daily routine, for others it is something new.
Now that teleworking and staying at home is the best option to protect ourselves against the virus, many have decided to exercise to pass the time, de-stress and release endorphins. The internet has helped make exercise at home a possibility, reaching more people to join this trend.
The social media accounts of gyms, coaches and athletes now have more followers than ever before. Today we’re going to discuss online classes, routines and tips to help all of us be active at home.
To tell you a little about myself, I think of exercise as a way to get out of the routine and recharge myself
with good energy. I focus on positive thoughts, release stress, and help my body feel energized. What I like the
most is that there are days when I get inspired while I exercise: I come up with good ideas and challenge myself
to be better, both in working out and in my work and personal life.
How do I train at home? Instagram and YouTube have become my favorite platforms.
I have friends who
love to work out and upload very good routines on Instagram, but I also follow accounts of coaches that I like;
And on YouTube, I always find good classes that help me train at any time of the day. This fitness trend is so
strong that there are brands in fashion, food, and other industries, dedicating part of their content on social
networks to give yoga or workout classes.
Another way to exercise at home is by doing what I like the most: dancing. On weekends I video call my friend
and we do choreography together. Putting on my sportswear is the first step before connecting to dance, I would
say that in addition to making me feel comfortable, it is like an energizer that encourages me to put the best
attitude. Also, it is better to always be prepared and look cute, as she loves to upload our choreographies on
social networks!
The truth is that no matter what digital platafomr we use, the type of training or the time, I have seen something in common: we all care about our outfit, the sportswear we wear.
I don’t know if you’ve stopped to think about this, but when you’re working out at home, the clothes we wear are just as important as when we go jogging outside, work out at the gym or got out to ride a bike. Why?
There are basically 3 reasons that inspire us to wear the right sportswear for training at home:
-
It is the best way to get into the sports 'mood', feel motivated and empowered to do our best during training.
-
It makes us look and feel good. For many this means more confidence to be able to share content and exercises on social networks. In my particular case, sometimes I share it with my family, friends or partner.
-
Since activewear is designed for exercise, they allow us to be flexible, feel comfortable, cool, and move with ease.
No matter where or when, what you wear to workout is still important. It doesn't matter if it's at home, in the gym
or outside; Sportswear encourages all of us to start our routine motivated and give our best.
At Leonisa we want to join you in all your exercise moments, and that is why we offer you what you need for a
complete look, 'a total look'. You will find everything from tops, t-shirts and leggings, to jackets and joggers.
