According to the World Health Organization, physical activity doesn't have to be an hourlong CrossFit calvary. It can be as simple as stretching for a few minutes, gardening, or even cooking (the last two, by the way, have become popular COVID-19 pastimes), so long as you get your butt off the couch. It's important to be physically active during these times. Not only will indoor workouts consume a few hours in the long, long day, health experts advise that being physically fit will help keep the virus at bay.
Working out will also boost your endorphin and dopamine levels, thus improving mental health and overall well-being.
If you're serious about becoming productive during the quarantine via a newfound commitment to bettering your physical well-being, these shops, which provide gym equipment during the quarantine, might help you on your journey.
