Exercising at home has given me and many others an opportunity to try new things without fear of judgment. You can play your workout music out loud instead of needing headphones. You can stop the video, lower the weight and jump into the bath as soon as you’re done. Oh, and don’t forget the financial savings you can make from spending £60 on a year’s online subscription rather than paying £15 a class or £50 a month for gym space. It all adds up.

As restrictions have lifted, my lockdown fitness regime provided a real sense of stability; it hasn’t really changed since March 2020 when I switched up my boxing and HIIT classes to concentrate on running and accessory work. The daily walks and near-daily runs in local nature spots have provided me with a sense of clarity and happiness that gyms simply can’t replicate. Despite there being no need to continue doing my home workouts in a room so narrow that I can’t stretch my arms horizontally without hitting the TV, I know I’ll keep at least part of my lockdown regime going into the future.

Don’t give up your lockdown fitness regime just because classes are back on
