Exercise at Home 2020 – Liverpool Isolation Workout

With Liverpool set to be on lockdown for the foreseeable, we ask Liverpool fitness experts for their best tips and tricks to exercise at home.

Exercise at Home

It’s all too easy to give in to the temptation to relax all day and watch TV, snacking from dawn till dusk, but exercise is vital to maintain health both physically and mentally. When you exercise, chemicals like endorphins and serotonin are released which help to improve your mood. Regular exercise can reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety.

So being healthy both physically and mentally means strengthening the mind and the body. Meditation is a fantastic way to focus the mind, but how do you workout from home? Your house might not have a weights, exercise machines and water bottles, but it also doesn’t have opening hours, which means you can workout from home whenever you want.

Now is a fantastic time to work on your fitness and overall wellbeing. Discover a new way to workout during isolation from ab workouts to tone up and strengthen your core, Hiit workouts to burn energy and calories and yoga sessions to focus the mind and increase flexibility.

Valhalla Training Academy is a gym with a difference. Based on Sefton Industrial Estate, these guys specialise in axe throwing, strength training and of course, viking training. 

We asked Lloyd Kenwright from Valhalla Training Academy, What motivates you to workout at home?

“The tool I use to motivate myself is stress. It doesn’t sound like the healthiest of things to use as motivation but I know that if I don’t hit a bag or swing a hammer or mace, then that stress is going to build up. A lot of my training is based more on mental wellness, as my techniques are all very challenging…but at the same time therapeutic.”

Lloyd continued: “And as far as recommending how to find drive thats a hard one! Being motivated to train is easy. You just have to look at a picture of someone in shape and there’s your motivation. The trick is being dedicated and the best way to get dedicated is to enjoy your training. That’s where ‘flow state’ training helps me. Counting reps isn’t the most entertaining thing to do but when you get lost in a mace or hammer routine with some music on you can train all day and everyday and come out better both mentally and physically.”
