With snacking on the rise for most of us and incidental activity well down, you’re probably looked into how you can lose weight during isolation.

As a starting point, it’s crucial you stick to a consistent at-home workout schedule.

I like to mix up my workouts. Not only does this keep me stimulated, it keeps my body guessing, and therefore progressing. Some days its lower body focused, others days it’s upper body, core or cardio. Whatever it is, I simply ensure that I mix it up every day and I always listen to my body.

Looking to try five at-home workouts in five days? Give these a try:
