Take some time for yourself and check out the at home workouts the Auckland Council Pools and Leisure team has created.

Choose one to do now, alternate through them all, or find many more on the Auckland council pools and Leisure Facebook page.

Ritua Ali’iva’a, Auckland Council’s Fitness Lead, says “The series of workout videos are filmed by our team of fitness instructors from across the Auckland Council Pools and Leisure network for people to get active in the comfort of their own homes.

“Each video demonstrates the exercises in the workout, which use a variety of training styles that need little or no equipment,” she says.

Working out at home saves time. There’s no travelling involved (unless you count the few strides you take from the lounge to the hallway.) It’s low cost, you can go at your own pace and you can wear whatever you like!

Here are some at-home workouts to get you started.

Remember, if you’re feeling unwell during any of the workouts, please stop and take a breather.
