Amongst the few ways to prevent getting the coronavirus is to stay fit. If we were to stay at home and do little effort to move around during the 2+ week period of quarantine and social distancing, then we all would be susceptible to the virus. Many believe that to stay fit, one must exercise for many hours a day, so they get discouraged and stop exercising altogether. That is not true. With only 30 minutes a day, anyone can stay or start to become fit.
To combat the novel coronavirus of 2019, I plan to follow an exercise routine which should take me about 30 minutes or less a day. Although my routine might be too much or too little for your personal needs, you may adjust as necessary and stay healthy with me. I am not a fitness coach, but my step father--who has been exercising since he was about thirteen years old, about forty years--helped me come up with the routine. By following a version of my routine, you should feel stronger, be faster, look and feel better, and stay healthy and out of the virus' reach. We must stop making excuses and start acting. The time is now.
Workout routine:
Alternate between A day and B day, starting on A day, following with B day, and looping back to A day consecutively.
Note: I plan to increase the amount of exercise every two weeks by 20%
A day:
2 mile run
200 rope jumps
B day:
25 reps/2 sets push ups (first set, military and second, wide grip)
50 reps/4 sets crunches
20 reps/2 sets squats with 25 pound vest
2 minute low plank
1 minute low plank
10 reps/ 2 sets 25 pound curls
20 reps/ 2 sets bench presses with 7.5 pounds on each side
*Attempt to do 1 pull up and 7 dips overall*
