An Introduction “In order to achieve what you’ve never had, you have to be willing to do what you’ve never done.” – Jay Ramundo

O

n March 11th, 2020, the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak was declared a global pandemic by the WHO. As a result: Schools are cancelled. Social Distancing is a new part of human vocabulary. Non-essential stores and businesses are closed. All major sporting leagues and events are cancelled. Churches and other religious places are closed. Borders are closed – Travel is banned. Outdoor parks, playgrounds, and trails are closed. GYMS, Recreation centers, and Fitness Facilities are also ordered to shut!

We are experiencing some unique, unprecedented, and uncertain times for sure, where chaos and fear are the new normal. This “new” normal, however, can create stress and anxiety for many of us. Stress affects everyone differently both physically and mentally. Following are some examples of how stress can affect you:

It can cause mental health issues It can cause cardiovascular disease, including heart disease, high blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, and stroke It can result in obesity and other eating disorders My name is Jay Raymundo. I am a personal trainer and wellness coach. As a personal trainer, I’ve always promoted the importance of physical activity to combat stress. Exercise and other physical activity help produce certain chemicals called endorphins in your brain that act as natural painkillers that not only help improve your sleep quality but also have a positive effect on your mood. This, in turn, reduces stress and improves your quality of life – both physically and mentally. Regular workouts can help relieve tension, anger, anxiety, and depression. During this pandemic, it’s more vital than ever that we maintain an active lifestyle. Not only does exercise help relieve stress, but it also strengthens your immune system. Regular exercise can help flush out germs and bacteria from your lungs and airways lowering your chance of getting the flu, cold, or related disease. According to MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia, regular workout causes change in WBCs (white blood cells) and antibodies. WBCs are your body's immune system cells that fight disease and illness. How the pandemic changed the fitness industry When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, all fitness centers and gyms were ordered to shut across the globe. But, the pandemic gave the fitness industry a surprise makeover! All of a sudden, “At-home” workouts became the norm, and those who still sought group experience resorted to virtual wellness such as pre-recorded classes and live streaming. Although virtual wellness was in existence before the pandemic hit, its use has considerably increased during the pandemic. The lockdown forced the fitness industry to adjust to the “new” normal, embrace technology, and do whatever possible to stay relevant. Therefore, now is the perfect opportunity for you to dust-off your home gyms and find another place to hang your clothes. While you’re “stuck” at home

during quarantine, social distancing, and self-isolation, it’s time to take advantage of the various “At Home” workouts available online and those workout DVDs you purchased but never really opened. Following are some benefits of working out at home: Low cost (depends on the equipment you prefer working out with) Lots of privacy (unless your kids and pets join you) Saves time – no travelling, no waiting for machines Flexible and convenient – work out at your own pace and whenever you want If you’re unsure on how to start or what to do, I’ve put together a series of home-based workouts, which you can do at the comfort of your home. In this book, I have explained 19 home workouts (with images) to help you keep SUPERFIT throughout the Corona Virus (COVID 19) pandemic. All these workouts focus on strength and conditioning. These can be done with minimal equipment (e.g. a pair of Dumbbells, Swiss-ball, and bench) and can be scaled to all fitness levels. I’ve also attached the YouTube links of all these workouts to demonstrate the exercises as well as the modifications that you can incorporate. I sincerely believe that this book will inspire you to continue to be healthy and embrace the “new” normal with physical activity and exercise. So, without further ado, LET’S GET STARTED!

Chapter 1: Benefits Of Working Out At Home

N

ot everyone who wants to stay fit needs to work out at a gym! There exist ridiculous stigma and skepticism surrounding home workouts that whether or not “At home” workouts can really yield results.

In truth, your muscles don’t know if you’re working out at a gym or your home. There are benefits to “At home” workouts provided you’re putting in the work, just like you do at the gym. Your “At home” workouts can be just as intense and perspiring as an hour you spend on a treadmill in a packed smelly gym. Also, working out at home can help develop a steady fitness routine. Developing a consistent fitness routine is a life-changing habit. You can accomplish this by making your workouts as convenient as possible and it doesn’t get more convenient than working out at home! Following are some of the top proven benefits of working out at home:

1.) Time Saver “At-home” workouts can help save your travel time. Cutting your commute time will eliminate the excuses of not having enough time to work out. Cutting excuses is a huge benefit of working out at home that helps you develop a consistent fitness routine. At home, it takes only a few minutes to click an exercise video or play your favorite music and start doing workouts. 2.) Cost-Effective “At-home” workouts are cost-effective. You can save money on costly gym memberships as well as the traveling cost to the gym. You can use the saved cash to purchase some good quality home gym equipment or reward yourself after finishing an "at-home” workout challenge or streak. 3.) Helps Avoid Germs and Viruses Due to Covid 19 pandemic, avoiding germs and viruses has become a crucial challenge. Home-based workouts can help you steer clear of disease-causing bacteria and germs, and keep them at bay. You don’t need to worry about who sat before you on the machines, or wipe down machines, or worry what germs you may pick up when you pick your favorite dumbbells from the weight-rack. You don’t need to constantly worry about washing your hands and clothes and sanitizing your phone while working out at home. 4.) Allows Flexibility Flexibility is vital when developing a consistent workout routine and staying on track. You might overbook your days or you might get sick, or you won’t be allowed to go to the gym during the COVID-19 pandemic. Working out at home allows you more flexibility when things don’t go as planned. 5.) Allows Privacy “At home” workouts allow the home privacy. This means you don’t need to worry about who’s judging your body-shape, muscles, clothes, and fitness level. Nobody can bother you. Sometimes, to really get into your workout, you may need to distance yourself from the crowd. Working out at home offers you privacy where you can do intense exercises.

6.) Full Freedom In the gym, you need to follow lots and lots of rules. But at home, you’re the boss and you make the rules! There is no opening and closing time. You can have loud music or no music at all. You don’t need to be on time for your class. Of course! Gym rules are important. But if you don’t like gym rules, working out at home will offer you all the freedom. 7.) Remove Distractions Home-based workouts allow you to get rid of certain distractions, which is not easy in a gym. For example, distractions like news on TV screens, bad music, talkative friends, or strangers talking near the machine where you’re working out can disrupt your focus and slow you down. Working out at home won’t allow such distractions. 8.) No Gym Wears Required Let’s face it! No one cares what you wear while working out at home. No shoes, no gym vests, no leggings, no problem! Comfort is the king! You can workout at home in your jammies, cozy shorts exposing your cellulite, your holey tee, or even in your undergarments. No one gives a damn! 9.) Always Available Your gym’s schedule can restrict you unless you’re a member of a 24 hr gym. But, “at home” workouts are always open and available. When you develop an exercise habit, this availability benefit will immensely help you. The more you workout at home in a week, the faster you’ll get the results. Gyms can help build momentum, but when you’re not able to continue working out due to your gym’s schedule, you’ll feel strange. Working out at home will let you continue your exercises and build a consistent workout routine. 10.) Shuts All Excuses Excuses won’t yield results. Developing an exercise routine and sticking to it won’t be an easy task since your mind will always come up with loads of excuses. These are the roadblocks you need to overcome.

Working out at home removes lots of possible excuses. By developing a consistent exercise routine, you become the master and commander of your overall health. When you shut down all the excuses, you can achieve whatever you desire in life. 11.) Zero Rush At the gym, you’ll either wait for others to finish their reps so you can use the machine or they’ll wait for you to finish your reps. However, no one will bother you while working out at home. Plus, online videos don’t come with any time restrictions. There’s no start and stop time. You can workout at your own pace. Just hit the pause button when you feel like taking a water break. You won’t miss out on any exercise moves. You can even cook your dinner in the oven while slaying your crossfit video. 12.) Eliminates Ego At the gym, you’ll find it hard not to compare yourself with a fitter fellow gym member. But, “at home” workouts will allow you to make the only comparison that actually matters – your daily performance. How much did you improve today compared to yesterday? You compete with yourself and not with the fitter fellow gym member. 13.) Works out Your Brain Home-based workouts allow you to creatively discover new ways to integrate movement to your daily life. For example, while waiting for the water to boil, you can do squats in the kitchen, or do push-ups between TV commercials, or race your dog up-and-down the stairs. Fitness isn’t only reserved for the gym. Working out at home makes fitness a part of your home life. Your brain and muscles crave variety that can help you stay on track with fitness. 14.) Fast and Easy A huge benefit of working out at home is that you can do it even on your busiest days. You can do a quick 15 min HIIT routine or body-weight training once a day or several times during the day for stress-free fitness. At home, you can easily stop whatever work you’re doing and do 25 sit ups

or stretch for a few minutes. You don’t need to prep anything to climb upand-down the stairs 10 times. You can do these exercises whenever you like. 15.) Comfort Nothing can beat “at home” workouts in comfort. It offers great emotional, mental, and physical comfort that helps you become more at ease with fitness. Working out at home helps build strength and confidence in yourself as well as your body. When you gain mastery over strength, flexibility, and mobility, walking into a new environment full of unfamiliar persons becomes so much easier. 16.) Allows Variety Your muscles also need a challenge with new movements just like your brain. The key to fitness is not letting your muscles adapt to a specific workout. This will lose the effectiveness of those workouts. Working out at home allows you to add variety to your exercises. The variety of options includes exercise apps and videos, core building, body-weight routines, dancing, running or walking up-and-down the stairs, etc. 17.) No Fear of Failure Home-based workouts provide you privacy, so you won’t feel the fear of failure since you’re not working out in a room full of people. At the gym, you may experience fear of failure like not being able to keep your balance while lunging, or not being able to lift heavy weights, or not wearing perfect gym wears. While working out at home, you won’t feel the pressure of others watching your struggles and mistakes. It helps you build an attitude of confidence and strength prior to working out at the gym in front of others. At home, no one will judge your body, what movements you’re performing, or if your workouts are meeting their standards. No one cares what you do at home! 18.) No Odd Smells In general, homes don’t smell weird. The only source of odd smell would be your dirty linen, socks, shoes, body odor, etc. But your gym would be full of weird smells like the body odor of strangers, old sweat, dirty floors, and

disinfectants. All these can easily trouble your nose. 19.) Helps Avoid Bad Food Habits Bad food habits can rapidly sabotage your health. Before and after the gym, you typically won’t have healthy food choices that often result in temptations. Prior to working out at a gym, you’ll tend to skip meals or depend on processed convenience foods. And post gym workouts, you’ll more likely grab something on the go to restrain your intense hunger. Such go-to food choices are not healthy. On the contrary, working out at home gives you more control over what you eat both pre and post-workout.

Chapter 2: How Exercise Helps Build Immunity

esides social distancing, frequent hand washing, and maintaining a balanced diet, another important way to protect yourself against the novel coronavirus (COVID 19) is to boost your immune system to keep your body as healthy as possible. And, the best way to boost your immunity is to exercise regularly.

B

Since gyms are closed across the globe, working out at home can help support your health and build your immunity. These simple body movements can effectively help fight infection and diseases. Both WHO (World Health Organization) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) encourage regular workouts for good reasons. A 2019 scientific study revealed that regular workouts can help improve your immune response, mental health, reduce inflammation, and lower illness risk. The study was based on moderate to vigorous intensity exercises that last less

than an hour. According to the study, humans typically have a limited number of immune cells that circulate around the body. These immune cells usually hang out in lymphoid organs and tissues such as the spleen, where they kill the disease-causing bacteria, germs, viruses, and other microorganisms. When you do intense workouts, your muscles contract, which increases lymph and blood flow. This, in turn, increases the circulation of immune cells in your body at a higher rate and large numbers. The study further revealed that regular workouts help employ highly-specialized immune cells such as T cells and natural killer cells to wipe out pathogens such as viruses. According to MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia, regular workout also causes change in WBCs (white blood cells) and antibodies. WBCs are your body's immune system cells that fight disease and illness. Regular exercise boosts your immune system in multiple ways. It can help: Increase lymph and blood flow Wipe out bacteria from your airways Fortify antibodies to help fight disease and infection Diminish stress hormones According to an NCBI study, chronic inflammation can weaken your immune system. Regular workouts help reduce inflammation that allows your immune system to perform better. A 2019 NCBI research revealed that moderate-intensity workout can effectively lower the rate of infections in the upper respiratory tract that includes viruses such as the common cold and flu. An NCBI study conducted on nearly 1400 people in China revealed that those who exercised a minimum of three times a week were reported to have reduced their risk of getting a cold by 26 percent. Another NCBI study conducted on 390 people revealed that those who performed moderate-intensity exercise for 8 weeks reduced their odds of getting the acute respiratory disease by 14 percent. Their number of sick days was also reduced by 23% compared to those who didn’t perform the moderate-intensity exercise for 8 weeks. A recent NCBI review suggests that inactivity and obesity can also weaken

your immune system. Leading a healthy lifestyle can help improve the surveillance activity of your immune system where the immune cells in your bloodstream actively look for infection and pathogens to eliminate them. This can help lessen respiratory diseases. The whole process begins while you're sweating. The moment you begin working out, your body activates circulation and simultaneously initiates your fight-or-flight mode that produces stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine. Both actions activate the surveillance activity of your immune system, which mobilizes the immune cells into your lymph, tissues, and blood to increase the likelihood of coming in contact with infections and pathogens. This surveillance activity of your immune system to search and destroy harmful agents is an essential function of your body’s natural immunity. Adaptive immunity is another level of your body’s immune system. Also called memory immunity, this involves specialized cells such as T cells that detect infected body cells. Regular workouts can help maintain a good number of T cells in your body as you age. Last but not least, you should never over-exercise. Intense workouts are good but make sure you give your body ample rest to let it properly recover post every workout. Your immune system functions well when it's not subject to excess strain on a regular basis. When your workouts get forceful and excessively tiring, the number of WBCs (white blood cells) in your body goes down. This may lead to a rise in stress hormone (cortisol) levels which may interfere with the ability of some immune cells to work properly. Some people think that excess workouts will yield more immunity. If you exercise regularly, do not overdo it. Over-exercising can cause more damage than good.

Chapter 3: Why HIIT?

stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. It’s a type of physical H IIT training strategy, which involves alternating short phases of intense anaerobic workouts with reduced recovery time. HIIT training sessions typically vary from 5 minutes up to ½ hour. Such short and intense exercises result in enhanced athletic capability and ripped body shape, as well as perked up glucose metabolism. HIIT is specifically designed to systematize cardio-respiratory exercises that call for repeated sessions of short period high-intensity workout intervals

combined with less intense durations of recovery. HIIT is known to be more effective and better than a normal cardio workout since the intensity level is much higher that enables you to improve both your anaerobic and aerobic endurance. HIIT can even be applied to jogging, sprinting or other simple workouts like squats. Several health studies revealed that HIIT helps to burn adipose tissue (that stores fat) better than any low-intensity training – up to fifty percent. Studies further revealed that HIIT speeds up your metabolism, which, in turn, burns excess fat in your body all through the day. 3.1) Benefits of HIIT Following are some of the top health benefits of HIIT: Develops endurance: HIIT training acclimatizes with the cellular composition of your body muscles, which helps you develop endurance while performing any kind of workout. A recent study conducted on some individuals who opted for HIIT for 6 weeks revealed that they were able to double the amount of time they could run or ride a bicycle while maintaining a similar speed. Burns excess fat and calories in short duration: High-Intensity Interval Training is a wise choice if you can’t workout for a longer duration. Just 20 minutes of HIIT routine burns more fat and calories compared to running for an hour. Efficient use of energy: HIIT utilizes a method of tough training and recovery intervals, switching between high-intensity exercises with short rest durations. As a result, your body learns how to resourcefully utilize the energy released from the energy system of your body. HIIT even helps eliminate poisonous wastes from your body throughout the resting durations. Switching between the workouts even helps you sweat efficiently. Improves metabolism: HIIT helps you intake more oxygen than any other training routine. The surplus oxygen in your body helps improve your metabolism rate for nearly 85 minutes to 145 minutes post a single HIIT session. Consequently, the improved metabolism rate assists in burning excess fat and calories at a faster pace. Burns fat and calories throughout the day: HIIT helps burn excess

fat and calories, even after you’ve finished training. When you go through such high-intensity training, the repair cycle of your system goes into a frenzied drive. It means that even hours after a highintensity workout, your body is still burning fat and calories. This may not happen with other training regimens. No equipment required: HIIT is truly cost-effective as it requires no equipment! All you require is a small open space. HIIT uses your own body weight. Thus, any exercise that rapidly sets your heart rate up, for instance, jumping jacks, high knees, and plyometrics, can be incorporated into your HIIT regimen. In HIIT, your major focus is to boost your heart rate up instead of toning a specific group of muscles that makes it more effective than weight training. Burns fat and not your muscles: Intense cardio workouts are often associated with losing muscle mass. On the contrary, HIIT uses your body weight for weight training that helps you preserve the muscle growth in your body while still burning fat only. Select your favourite exercises: The best thing about HIIT is that you don’t need to restrict yourself to any specific workouts. You can choose any cardio exercises and turn them into a HIIT workout. For example, you can choose to run on a particular day at great speed for 30 seconds and observe 45-second intervals in the middle and the next day you can choose any other workout such as aerobics or cycling. Healthy heart: It’s a popular belief that hard training assists in achieving great results. However, it’s tough for most people to push themselves to an anaerobic zone where they feel breathless with their hearts pounding faster. But, HIIT can effectively enable you to push yourself to that level because of the rest intervals that arrive right after you get to that peak point. It helps you maintain a healthy heart and proper blood flow throughout your body system. New Challenge: High-Intensity Interval Training offers you a new challenge every time, and if you’re a newbie, a faster way to get results. HIIT always pushes you to move out of your comfort zone, so you never get fed up or tired with your exercise routine.
