BENEFITS OF WORKING OUT AT HOME OR IN YOUR HOME GYM WHEN YOU’RE SICK
- You don’t have to deal with the glares of others around you.
- You don’t have to worry about getting anyone sick.
- You can cough as much as you like with no guilt.
- You can blow your nose conveniently without trying to hide it.
- You don’t have to compulsively wipe down the machines.
- You can do your own programming and listen to your body. You don’t have to do a 20-minute AMRAP when you can barely breathe. You can do light cardio instead.
- You can work out when your body is ready, not when class is ready.
- You can take your time.
- You can take as many breaks as you want for as long as you want.
- You can drink as much as you like.
