Call on me workout 

Fitness Level – All levels, cardio-intensive

Do you remember the music video for “Call on Me” by Eric Prydz? In it, a fitness class full of spandex-clad women and one dude thrust away in aerobic bliss. As it turns out, the same actors made a fitness video and guess what? It’s awesome. The music rocks and the moves are relatively easy, plus, you can skip ahead to get straight to the strength training.

Pump It Up Workout by Ministry of Sound

Prison inspired, full-body workout

Fitness Level – Beginner to Advanced, Beginners may need to adapt or shorten exercises

Self-isolating at home poses its challenges and one of the big ones is space to move. However, there is no need to reinvent the wheel here; when it comes to working out with no equipment or space, all you have to do is check out how an inmate does it. Prisoners have very little room for movement and social budgets rarely have room for gym equipment. Still, they find a way. These videos are favorites because they are easy to follow and adapt if necessary. Warning, if you do them, you will be sore tomorrow.
