Whether you stay inside or get outdoors, here are some of our top tips for staying fit without the gym.
1) Home workout YouTube tutorials
There are thousands of free-to-watch fitness routine videos to choose from on YouTube. So, whatever difficulty and style of home workout you're looking for, there will be a video tutorial for you. Find an instructor you like, with workouts that will test you, and you will feel like you have a trainer all to yourself. The best part is, you can keep doing videos until you feel worked out enough or stop and start the video as necessary.
2) Go for a walk
Even taking regular walks outside can be enough to improve your fitness levels. But if you really want to amp up on exercise, grab your running shoes or trainers and go for a jog around your local area – you might also be surprised at what you see.
3) Yoga at home
One of the best things about yoga is that you need only your body and a mat to do it. There are tons of online yoga workouts that demonstrate the poses, so you can try pretty much any kind of yoga without leaving the comfort of your own home.
4) Make housework exercise time.
Your workout only burns around 10% of your daily calories. So how do you stay active the rest of the day. Cleaning the house is actually a great way to get moving. Gardening. Stretches during the day. Find more information about NEAT and the importance of NEAT

Virtual challenges requires you to run, walk, swim or cycle etc all at your own pace. When completed, you receive a physical reward for all your hard work, aside from increased fitness and pride. All you need to do is choose your method of exercise, whether it be foot, bike, or water, choose your achievable distance, and off you go. Keep track of your progress, send it off as evidence, and a reward will be on its way to you. I CHALLENGE MYSELF is passionate about getting people out and active
