A month of movement from home: 30 days, 30 sessions

Coronavirus lockdown? No worries. We'll play our part and keep moving. All from home. Maybe you'll join in. #repsforrona

A month of movement from home: 30 days, 30 sessions

Gyms closed and the COVID19 lockdowns started happening so people (including me) all over the world were asked to stay in their homes.

And since you're someone who takes care of their health, you'll know not moving isn't an option.

To offer the small bit of help I could, I started a daily series on my YouTube channel of follow-along style workout videos you can do in your bedroom with minimal equipment.

You can find them all the in the Month of movement playlist but this post collects them all in place.

Month of movement (bodyweight only) - YouTube
30 days of movement. Can you do it? This series of videos was recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns as a way to keep moving whilst indoors. Each session ave...
YouTube playlist containing the 30 days worth of movement sessions.

If you make it through the whole series, you'll have moved for a minimum of 5+ hours.

But feel free to pick and choose from the list below.

Style

Each video is recored in a follow along style. Meaning the idea is, you play the video and watch, listen and move along with me at the same time.

There's also a theme for each one. Such as day 2's "movement is medicine". Just a way to have something to think about during and after the session.

Most of them have a length of 10-minutes, meaning 2 rounds of:

  • 5 different movements
  • 30-seconds on (moving)
  • 30-seconds off (resting)

Some sessions are upper body only, lower body only or something similar but many use the whole body in some way.

Feel free to alter any of the movements as you see fit.

Equipment needed

The far majority are bodyweight only, all completed within the space of my bedroom floor (about 2 metres by 2 metres).

For the equipment you do need, it's all household items: a ball, a chair or two, a broomstick.

Gravity is our main tool.
