Staying healthy and in shape while quarantined is completely doable and this guide will show you ways. whether or not you've got alittle space, no equipment or little or no time, there are many great options to assist you exercise during a quarantine.


1)Bridge

3)Concentration Curls with a Jug.

For this variation on a bicep curl, which is also known as an over-the-knee bicep curl, you will only need one jug and a bench, chair or sofa. Sit down on your chair with your feet wide apart on the floor.

Take the jug in your right hand, and lean forward to place your right elbow against the inside of your right thigh, and have your arm fully extended downward with your arm and wrist straight.


4)Bicep Curls with Your Leg.

To do this exercise, all you need is a chair, stool, bench or sofa. Have a seat. Use your right hand to reach under your left thigh, and hold your thigh just above the back of your knee.

Pull that leg up as high as you can. Keep this from being too easy by intentionally making sure that you do not use any leg muscles at all to help with the lift.

This bodyweight move is another good closed-chain exercise for shoulder stability. The plank crunch part of the move is also great for working your core.
