Ever tried working out using a towel, flower pot, toilet paper roll or your child? Try these alternate exercises during lockdown

While gyms continue to remain shut amid the nationwide lockdown, we bring to you some alternate workout ideas that our celebs are doing and sharing videos on their social media. Check out and stay fit.

Can’t go to the gym because of the lockdown? Sweat not. Several celebrities and fitness enthusiasts in the industry have some fun workout ideas that can be done at home easily.

Feel free to draw some inspiration on alternative fitness methods from Karan Singh Grover “Active Passive hang”, Sophie Choudry’s towel workout, Dalljiet Kaur’s brick exercise, Rhea Chakraborty’s flower pot work-out, Deanne Panday’s fitness videos on working out on couch, with water buckets and tissue roles, among others. But just “don’t stop moving” urges these celebs.

Health experts have been harping on how one should not panic and also to not believe what every third person is saying or sharing on social media. Health coach Deanne Panday says all these add to the scare.

“Do yoga and meditation to relax your mind, survive this panic,” she continues, “All my ideas are coming from day-to-day life. People are binge-watching, and that’s not a good habit, so try this exercise. Also, tissue rolls… My sisters in US told me about people have been hoarding them, so I thought of creating something fun out of it. Use your staircase to work out, 10-minute morning, afternoon and night, just climb up and down,” says Panday.

Meanwhile, Grover has been using the wall to do some pull ups these days.

Talking about her towel workout, Choudhry adds, “When we workout in a Pilate studio, we’ve these special towels to do this exercise with. It’s an incredible workout especially for the upper body and strengthens your core. But this can be done with regular towels that we have at home… I’ve a small trampoline at home, might do with something interesting with that next,” she shares.
