There’s A (Home) Workout Kit With Your Name On It

If your default lockdown setting is couch potato, now’s the time to start some healthy habits. And before you try and play the, ‘My gym’s closed! What do you want from me?!’ card, there’s no escaping at-home workout videos.

Joe Wicks has been officially reborn as ‘the world’s PE teacher’, aka the number one salvation for WFH parents, with exercise classes tailored to children every Monday to Friday via his YouTube channel, The Body Coach TV. Alexa Chung, meanwhile, has partnered with Mary Helen Bowers, ballerina and founder of New York’s Ballet Beautiful studio, to show you mat-based stretches to tone your bum, tum and arms.

Of course, there’s also yoga, video dance parties (yes, really) or leaving the house for your government-sanctioned outdoor exercise once a day. It's time to locate your workout personality - and dress accordingly.

For kid-friendly cardio

It might be designed for kids, but parents can also expect to break a serious sweat. Follow Joe’s lead in form-fitting shorts - Sweaty Betty’s cycling style is a winner - and a sports top with built-in back ventilation.

For the downward dog

Live The Process, a small NY-based label that's all about mindful design, has sports bras and leggings in soothing shades of blue that will get you in the mood for Yoga With Adrienne’s 15-minute morning practice. The fashion editor favourite also has knitted two-pieces that are just as good for lounging as they are for doing child's pose.

For raving and misbehaving

Most people have done a video call, some have done quiz nights, but only a brave few have done a virtual rave. Choose something comfortable - and colour-clashing - to hit your makeshift dancefloor.

For stepping outdoors

Going outside is (literally) a breath of fresh air right now. Take your cue from Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern, who did an expert job of maintaining social distance before LA’s lockdown, with zip-up jackets, leggings and baseball caps.
