WATCH: Home exercises you can do while avoiding the gym

The coronavirus (covid-19) now has people social distancing, working from home, and some gyms are closing their doors until the outbreak slows down.

Many people are turning to home workouts instead of gyms during the spread of the virus.

While officials explain that covid-19 is spread by droplets emitted from the mouth and nose of an infected person, and indirectly via contaminated hands and surfaces, it has not been shown to spread through sweat, but can thrive in the humid environment of a public gym.

Highly contagious, the virus can land on or be transferred via touch to surfaces where it can live on for up to three days, unless the surfaces are properly disinfected.

So if you want to be safe than sorry, then home workouts should be your thing. Plus, you can bring your favourite gyms direct to your living rooms by watching fit inspiration on social media as well.
