So working out might not be your top priority but it can be a good thing to do to take your mind off the current state of the world.

Exercising releases endorphins which can leave you feeling better and honestly if there was ever a time to start working out, self isolating is definitely the time.

Regardless of whether you're trying to get into shape or simply release some tension you're going to need a few things to workout in the comfort of your own home but still get the same results as if you're in the gym.

So, whether you've got a fitness DVD, you're watching a Youtube video, following a fitness app or going freestyle with your own routine, here's what you're going to need to get your sweat on.
