How to Elevate Your At-Home Workouts, According to Fitness Gurus

For all the advanced exercisers out there who feel lost without a gym or studio to hold you accountable and help you get the most out of your workouts: We hear you.

"Let's just say it takes one to know one. When the gyms and fitness studios closed their doors at first, I was like, 'I got this! Literally. I have dumbbells and a barbell with a few plates, some resistance bands and loops, gliders, and a mat in my small NYC apartment. No sweat.' Until I realized, yeah, no sweat, because I was so accustomed to getting my workout done in the gym," says Thompson. Instead of focusing on what her weaknesses were in the gym and decided to really fine tune and improve upon her skill set. And boom — there was her inspiration.

"This notion stands for everyone from the powerlifter to the spin enthusiast who feel lost and helpless without the tools that were available to them at the gyms and studios. You can start with fine tuning the mind-muscle connection via various exercises, then work on fine tuning mobility," she says. "From there, fine tune weak posture points that are breaking down form during movement. Honestly, now is your time to become the master of your movement patterns so that when you get your hands back on those weights or your body back under the bar or your butt back in the saddle; you'll thrive!"
