Stay Locked In With 3 More Workouts

Quick hits to break up your workday and a guided meditation when you get off the clock.

By: Jonathan Stull + Save to a List

Work from home offers more opportunities to squeeze in quick fitness than might not be appropriate for an office setting. Likewise, research tells us that those who get up on an hourly basis—even if it's just to walk up a flight of steps—have better fitness outcomes than those who don’t.

Bottom line: Every little bit helps, whether it’s a full workout or five to ten minutes when your schedule allows.

This week, Kirsten has two workouts on tap: a full sweat session that takes about 20 minutes and a quick core hit that takes just around 5 minutes. They're perfect for professionals who need to break up long periods of working in a seated position, and I’d challenge you to set that Pomodoro timer to repeat workouts every hour or so.

Feeling overwhelmed? We got you. Isolation is especially challenging without social contact. To unwind from hours of screen time, Kirsten has a guided meditation to bring you back to earth. We have a download link for you so you can take it with you to a quiet, isolated space outside.

And we can confirm: Kirsten’s voice is very relaxing. Links below.
