The Best Home Workout Routines for When You Cant Go to the Gym

Published: April 27, 2020, 7 a.m.

Well, here we are, quarantined because of this VIRAL BOOGALOO blitzing around the world like it\u2019s 1941, ravaging the defenseless lungs of tens of thousands of men, women, and children.

Gyms are shuttered, Charmin Ultra Soft is now worth its weight in gold ammo, and protein bars have become a prized delicacy.

The worst part for us fitness folk?

HOME. WORKOUTS.

Because for most of us, that means instead of our divine daily communion with the iron, we have to putz around with boring bodyweight exercises and bands.

Guess what, though? Home workouts don\u2019t have to be an unproductive slog.

Although you can\u2019t fully replicate the effectiveness of compound weightlifting, you can still gain (or at least maintain) muscle and strength with a well-designed home workout routine consisting of bodyweight exercises. And if you have some bands or dumbbells, that\u2019s even better.

So, if you want to learn how to work out at home when you can\u2019t go to the gym, keep reading. You\u2019ll learn the best bodyweight, band, and dumbbell exercises, and I\u2019ll share workout routines you can start right away to stay swole through these trying times.

Before we get to that, though, let\u2019s address a question I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve asked yourself already.
