What type of exercise can you do at home with little to no equipment? (List as many examples as possible)

There are so many ways for you to do this!

• Running! All you need is a pair of shoes

• You can do yoga

• Martial-Arts (if you practice this)

• Take a hike...Literally (go up a steep mountain or hill)

• You can combine running & bodyweight workouts for a running circuit!

• Dancing (yes you read correctly)

_{What are some easy ways I can substitute some equipment?}

• Jump rope? Use an actual rope or garden hose

• No bench for Tricep dips? Use a foldable chair or another stable chair

• Put items in your backpack as a weight.

Can you think of any ways you can substitute "normal" items around your house or at a local store for "exercise equipment"?

List as many as you can think of... You have 2 minutes! (discuss with people around you if possible but please keep your distance) (Those of you at home take a minute to look around and come up with ideas)

Note: When attempting to build or use any DIY or makeshift equipment for exercise please exercise extreme caution. Do not use hazardous or sharp materials to create workout equipment.

Don't build anything that needs to support your weight on your own without the help of a professional.
