April 9, 2020
Whether you’re working out in your living room or home gym,
Garmin is here to help you practice social distancing without distancing
yourself from your fitness routine!. In fact, in this trying time, maintaining
your fitness and health is more important than ever. Fortunately, Garmin
products offer you a wide variety of ways you can still stay active indoors or
outdoors.
Take a look at our list below, and see how you can keep
working on that fitness:
Indoor Inspiration:
- Exercise guides. Not sure where to start
with at-home exercises? Some of our smartwatches like Venu offer
easy-to-follow exercises for strength, cardio, yoga and Pilates. These animated
tutorials come preloaded on the watch, and you can download more from the
Garmin Connect app. - Yoga. At-home yoga helps you de-stress
and remain mindful of your breath. Our vívoactive 4
offers respiration and stress tracking throughout the day but also for yoga
activities, so you can easily attain that greater peace of mind. - Indoor cycling. What if you’re a cyclist?
Our Tacx trainers are quiet and accurate. It’s like a dream come true
so you can ride hard even in the living room. - Build your own workout. It’s easy to
create your own workout on Garmin Connect. Once you do, you can send it to most
Garmin smartwatches like fēnix. Here
is a detailed explanation on how to
build your own workout. - Connect IQ apps for workouts. You can
also download additional apps for your workout routine. Read all about them

know your workout routine, Garmin devices can still help you track your fitness
and health levels, as well as provide additional features like a stopwatch for
those 8-minute ab burns! - Run! It’s simple, you can do it alone and
it’s great for boosting your immune system and getting that heart rate up. Our Forerunner series watches
are designed for every kind of runner, and are a great aid for tracking and
planning your running routine. If you want to start a more formal training
plan, check out our watches with Garmin Coach which has
plans for 5k, 10k and Half Marathon. - Or walk! Walking is absolutely a great
habit. It’s just as vital for the mind as it is for the body. All of our wearable devices have
step counters and most include walking activities, so you can track every step
of your fitness journey.
Regardless of how you choose to work out, it’s essential
that you move. There is no better time to beat yesterday than today. Above all
else, we recommend you practice safety and health-consciousness first and
foremost, as advised by health and government officials.
