Home workout designed especially for those working from home in time of COVID-19 crisis.

1. The quality of the training is not determined by its high intensity, sore muscles
or shortness of breath.
Especially not in situations when boosting our immune system is paramount.
Activities of moderate intensity, good sleep and proper nutrition will help us
improve immunologic response of our body .
Respect others, stay safe and workout at home. March 2020
