For Debbie, she specializes in a little bit of everything. She’s involved in everything from gravity machine and strength training to now during the majority of 2020, virtual fitness training.

The really exciting part is that you can still participate in group classes right now as well!

Easy items you need to workout at home

According to Debbie, you actually don’t need very much when you’re thinking about how to workout at home. Even in urban areas like Toronto without a lot of space, be sure you give yourself enough room to lie down. That’s about all the space you need though!

For any extras, a mat is great as you can do yoga on it as well. Plus, if you have any light weights, that’s awesome too. For those who don’t have the proper workout materials though, Debbie suggests water bottles even! Whatever you have on hand that you can hold and give yourself a little bit of a challenge. Other than that, Debbie notes that you can actually mostly use your body weight. It’s that simple!

Working out at home for those who miss group fitness 

For a lot of people out there, the act of simply leaving the house to hit the gym is their source of motivation to actually get a workout in. Unfortunately, with the way 2020 has panned out, that is not always a feasible option. Luckily, you can still participate in group fitness classes online with places such as Gravitate Studio.

Even if you’re not totally sold on the idea, Debbie urges you to give it a try, especially at Gravitate Studio. You’ll still be provided with guidance, correction as well as motivation from your trainer. Plus, you might find yourself surprised at the group interaction and camaraderie that still occurs. Really, one of the only things that’s missing is leaving your house. Other than that, it’s the perfect way to really think about how to workout at home!

How to brighten your space & make it more motivating for at home workouts 

There are some tips and tricks that Debbie suggests for those who are looking to make their home space more motivating for home workouts. Debbie notes that if you allow your at home workout space to be filled with bright colours, it can definitely help your energy levels. Even if you hang up a nice photo that makes you feel happy, that can help as well.

Plus, opening your windows a little bit and letting in some fresh air is a little thing that can help wake you up. And if you have the space, it can help to have a mirror in the room. Not only is it nice to be able to watch yourself workout, but it can help to reflect light and make your room appear larger.
