That said, it’s important to remember that if you want to build fitness, strength and endurance, you’ll need to work hard and focus on the following tips.

You’ll need to be accountable

“To be honest, the amount of effort you put into your workout is always going to be what you get out of it,” advises Jennie Brown, barre instructor and founder of Meet You At The Barre. “This applies both in the gym and at home. The discipline of working out at home suits some people more than others – you might find that ring-fencing workout time in your diary helps you to prioritise it.”

Prioritise your form

If you’re trying out a totally new style of movement from home, you might want to check that you’re doing it correctly first to avoid strains and injuries.

“Anytime you want to try a completely new form of exercise I would recommend attending a few in-person classes first,” suggests Warburton. “These will help you learn the basics, and let you watch the people around you perform a specific exercise and any corrections the instructor offers. These are all invaluable knowledge nuggets that you can take into your future practice (whether that’s in person or at home).”

Know how and when to progress

Looking to advance your regime? Make sure you take some advice first. If you are looking to progress, it’s important you understand how to achieve this without risking injury or burnout.

“The effectiveness of your home workout can come down to your intensity,” explains Ben Simpkins, a PT and head coach at London Fitness Mamas. “It’s unlikely you’ll have super heavy weights at home, but to progress, you can start to work your muscles more through higher reps or working to a slower tempo to keep the muscles under load for longer.”

It’s important to remember that the most effective workout is always going to be the one you stick to so, if working out from home is working for you, then carry on as you were.
