Brie Larson shares how she’s keeping fit in quarantine

If you’ve recently found yourself back at the gym after basically being one with the couch these past five months, you’ve probably wondered at some point, “how did I get so unfit?” After all, walking to the fridge between eps of Yellowstone counts as cardio, right?
Brie Larson gets it. In a new video on her YouTube channel, the actress admitted she hasn’t exercised since the beginning of quarantine. But rather than stress out about how much strength she’s lost, the 30-year-old is easing back into it - one sweat session at a time.
“My intention for this workout is to not throw up," she told her Captain Marvel PT Jason Walsh during their first training back (which, btw, was done via Zoom).
"It's been a while, so I want to take it easy on myself, be realistic about where I'm coming from, and enjoy it while my mind flips out.”

The duo begin to go through a no-equipment routine made up of a series of bodyweight movements. Think sumo squats, butterfly extensions and different variations of planks.
"We're going to move through these exercises pretty quickly, and the idea is to keep yourself off the ground," Walsh said. "We want to keep moving around so we can help integrate the muscles, turn them back on, [and] reestablish circulation patterns."
As the workout progresses, it’s clear that Brie is struggling to push through.
“I can feel my mortality in a way that I haven’t in a while,” she says, looking red faced and sounding out-of-breath. She then curls up into the foetal position for the cool down period, which after her efforts, she definitely deserves.

It’s also pretty refreshing for a celebrity—especially one who plays a superhero—to be real about their fitness struggles. (Because, let’s face it, we’re all in the same boat post-iso.)
"It's unclear if anyone's actually going to do this workout along with us or just enjoy watching me struggle," she wrapped up the video. "If you liked it, if you didn't like it—keep your comments to yourself."

I used to be of the mindset that if i don’t go to the gym I cannot work out. Covid has forced me to prioritise exercise. 2019 I barely exercised (I just made every excuse to myself why I couldn’t). I had surgery in March and was so out of shape I’d get winded walking a few 100 metres. I started walking to aid my recovery and then we went into lockdown I made it a priority to exercise daily. There’s so much you can do at home too. I have some weights and a skipping rope. You don’t need any equipment really. You can do squats, burpees etc. You just need the right mindset. I feel great atm so it motivates me to keep going. Hopefully it’s a habit I keep going when life gets busy again post Covid.

I want to let every one know that HPV is a serious and deadly disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with HPV is by taking natural herbs medicine for it to flushes out the virus and is only few American doctors that know about this herbal medicine from doctor Afrid a great herbalist doctor. I have read about Dr Afrid the great herbalist doctor from African who can cure HPV with his powerful herbal medicine. for the people suffering from the following diseases Epilepsy, Hiv, Herpes, Cancer, Als, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Hpv,Infections ETC should contact him for his herbal medicine because his herbal medicine cured all kinds of diseases or virus, i am telling you all this because i am a living testimony and i was cured of Hpv. and my child was cured of epilepsy. Although, i sent him what he requested and he sent me his medicine which i took for two weeks and today when i went for test i was tested Hpv negative. you can reach him through his EMAIL;[drafridherbalhome@gmail.com] And you can also whatsapp/call him through his number +2349057260738 or visit his website at https://dr-afrid-herbal-home.webnode.com/

I haven't done anything different exercise wise but it's the first year in a long time that I haven't put on weight during the winter months.

I'm still doing all the things regarding fitness that I did before covid because I don't go to gym, I'm outdoors a lot spaced well away from any people and often I don't see a soul - its my 'me' time.

I take the dog for a walk most days. Our usual route is about 4-5 km. I would like to be able to go to the gym but I can’t right now for various reasons, plus the fact that they are all closed in Melbourne.
