Stay active at home with your Garmin Watch

Some people simply have no choice but to work out at home. If you have a 9-to-5 job, going to the gym may no longer be an option. This can cause your motivation to exercise to drop — but that mustn’t happen! In times like these, it’s important to stay healthy, positive, and active. The Garmin Watch is a smartwatch that helps you stay active at home — but how?

Animated workouts and walking

You come home, you need to think about what to have for dinner, and after a busy workday, the last thing you want to do is plan a workout. Garmin Watches offer a variety of animated workouts ready for you, including strength training, cardio, yoga, and Pilates. You can stay fit at home while getting guidance right from your wrist — ideal!

Yoga

With the animated yoga workouts, you can focus on breathing and stress relief. You’ll soon notice that you’re more aware of your breathing, helping you sleep better and improve your concentration. Yoga is not only great for your body but also for your mind.

Pilates

Pilates helps you maintain and improve flexibility, strength, balance, and body awareness. Like yoga, it can reduce stress and help you find calm and focus.

Indoor running

You can run outside, but also indoors. At home, you can still get your legs moving and your heart rate up. Try varying your pace, adding inclines and declines, side steps, and more. If you have a treadmill, even better — but you can also run up and down the stairs. Challenge your friends for extra motivation!

Indoor cycling

Keep your fitness up by cycling on a stationary bike at home. Put on your favourite tracks on Spotify or YouTube and get your legs moving.

Walking

Many people have desk jobs, meaning they sit for most of the day — not great for your health. That’s why it’s important to stand up and walk regularly. It sounds simple, but we often forget. The Garmin Watch reminds you every 20–30 minutes to stand up, move around, and stretch your legs.

Running

Since gyms have been closed for long periods, more people have taken up walking and running. With a Garmin Watch, you can go for a brisk walk or run and track your progress, giving your health a boost. Your smartwatch records your steps in Garmin Connect, and for running, it can track your route. You can even create a personalised running plan. The Garmin Forerunner Series is the best choice if you’re looking for a watch for running routes.

Sleep

Sleep is also a crucial part of your health. A good night’s rest ensures you’re more active during the day. With a Garmin Watch, you can monitor and analyse your sleep patterns, see if you’re getting enough rest, and assess your sleep quality.

In short...

Take care of your health — it’s time to move and stay active. Take your family for an evening walk or a cycling route in the fresh air. Now more than ever, it’s essential to eat healthily, exercise, and stay positive. Together, we can get through this unusual time!
