Sometimes we need a little TLC.
Besides teaching us the value of self-care and inspiring us to channel our inner #shefs, life under lockdown has also reminded many of us to take better care of our health and fitness. Thanks to the work-from-home scheme, even those who didn’t use to have time for the gym have finally found the time to add exercise to their daily routine.
At first, I was set on making do with what little I had and patiently waiting for gyms to reopen. But as social distancing and other precautionary measures have become more important, the idea of returning to the gym (or the “real world”, for that matter) makes me a little uneasy. Needless to say, I have no plans of returning to the gym for the time being.
If you feel the same, then it’s probably time to start putting together a home gym! Below, we share a few places where you can order home online. What’s more, some of them will even deliver your orders straight to your doorstep — and even assemble them if needed!
