Yes, it's very possible to stay fit and fresh without ever leaving your house

At-home fitness challenges on IG Stories are all the rage right now for a reason: Many people are only finding out for the first time the wonders of exercising from the comforts of their own bedroom. Nothing beats going to an actual gym, sure, but we can all agree that this is one of the silver linings of being stuck at home.

Admit it or not, we all want to come out of this thing looking fitter and healthier, which is nothing to be ashamed of. So, has anyone tagged you yet? Here are some things to remember when you finally decide to take on the challenge:

Stick to the basics but feel free to add more
Given your limited space and resources, it is recommended that you stick to the basics. With limited space, it would be ideal to focus on compact movements that keep you moving in one plane of motion.

For building strength and/or muscular endurance, exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, bridges, and leg raises are recommended. For cardio, fast movements like burpees, mountain climbers, and knee tucks work well even in a small space.

If you want to make the most out of your bedroom gym, you can add some equipment as long as it doesn't take up a lot of space or make your room look like a sweat dungeon. Things like a door frame pull-up bar, ab roller, and push-up handles can add variety to your workouts.

Get creative with your workouts
Who says you need to go to a sports store to buy equipment? Aside from investing in exercise gear as you progress, you can also use items around your bedroom to make your workouts more challenging.

You can use your bed to alter your leverage for push-ups by mounting your hands or legs on its surface. One other thing you can do is to put your chair and desk (or bed) side-by-side to perform dips since they're usually of the same height.

You can also look around for items to use as makeshift weights. Water bottles and books might not weigh much at first, but they will if you perform enough bicep curls and shoulder raises with them.

Get fit where you sleep
The following is a sample of one of the best men's workouts that you can do from your bedroom. It's supposed to challenge just about all your basic movements and get you conditioned without having to leave your room. Pick variations of the prescribed exercises that will make you struggle for the prescribed amount of reps but make sure that you maintain strict form.

A1) Push-ups or Single-arm Variations x 8-10 reps
(Rest 45 seconds and proceed to A2.)

A2) Squats or Single-leg Variations x 8-10 reps 3 sets x 8-10 reps
(Rest 45 seconds and proceed to A3.)

A3) Pull-ups or More Difficult Variations x 8-10 reps 3 sets x 8-10 reps
(Rest 45 seconds and go back to A1. You will repeat this cycle for 3 rounds)

B1) Bridge x 12-15 reps
(Immediately proceed to B2)

B2) Leg Raise x 12-15 reps
(Rest 30 seconds and go back to B1. Repeat this cycle for 3 rounds.)

C1) Burpees x 30s as many reps as possible
(Immediately proceed to C2)

C2) Knee Tucks x 30 s as many reps as possible
(Rest 1 minute and go back to C1. Repeat this cycle for 6-8 rounds)

Of course, just because you get to do your workouts at home doesn't mean showering and freshening up is no longer a priority. After all, knowing how to stay fresh and smell good is the least you can do to keep yourself healthy and worry-free.

You can do that by using a deodorant like Rexona Men Ice Cool + Anti Stain or Rexona Men Quantum, both of which helps protect your underarm from sweat and body odor for up to 48 hours. You also need a moisturizer like Pond's Men Energy Charge, which helps brighten and energize your skin.

Using grooming essentials like your facial wash and deodorant, along with maintaining proper hygiene, will give you the confidence and peace of mind you need to power through these tough times.
