With people around the world being urged to stay at home and self-isolate, it’s never been more pressing to consider how to maintain fitness (of the body and mind) without the help of a gym, PT or local Pilates class.
In fact, in the past 30 days, 142,340 people in the UK have searched “home workout” – and other keyword variations on the topic of staying fit at home – on Google.
It’s likely many of us will turn to video tutorials on YouTube to guide us because:
-
They’re free to watch
-
Easy to load up in any room there’s Wi-Fi
-
They offer huge variety – from free-flowing yoga, to boxing and bootcamps
And, new research from golfsupport.com has found if you are brave (and fit) enough, you can earn a pretty penny by starting a channel and flexing your muscles on the platform too*. Check out the following research for workout and money-making inspiration:
