Roni Bunker Episode 1: Apartment Fitness!

For those of us currently locked inside our apartments on stay at home orders during the COVID-19 outbreak, finding ways to cope with isolation and maintain both physical and mental health can be a challenge.

But it doesn’t have to be!

You can check our channel update about what’s going on with us during the pandemic in the video below.

Whether you’re cooped up at home and getting grumpy about your gym routine being interrupted, or you’re new to the world of fitness altogether, finding a way to stay active in the confines of your Roni Bunker is likely going to be crucial for overall well-being as we navigate these very strange times together.

Here’s our channel update and a little background on this apartment workout.

Thankfully, our friend Randy at High Risk Fitness has put together a pretty simple bodyweight routine that can be performed in the confines of your mole-person abode.

How it Works

Make sure to stretch and thoroughly warm-up before performing any of these routines! If you’re able to, a 400m / .25 Mile warmup jog around the block is great to get the blood flowing.

Follow your jog up with a quick couch stretch against the wall, couch or any other object for about 2 minutes per leg.

Perform 10 inchworm walkouts,

Followed by 10 sumo squats to a standing position. You can always add more to your warmup if you like!

Some Notes

Each workout demonstrated is performed at “Level 2”. If you’re generally more athletic, consider checking out “Level 3”, as it’s usually going to be Level 2 + the inclusion of an armor carrier with plates in it if you’ve got one on hand.

If you’re struggling with Level 2, Level 1 is going to be a bit easier to get you up to speed! Now Let’s dive in.

Parting Shots

Whatever life looks like for you right now, we hope that maybe being able to burn off a little bit of angst from the comfort of your own home might help!

The value of staying as positive as possible through all of this can’t be overstated, and for us, that means a ton of goofy at-home workouts.

It’s obviously not ideal, but it is enough to get your heart going and keep you from getting too gloomy while we’re under shelter orders.
