If you don’t want to go for a run in your nearby park but want an alternative that won’t require a pricey gym membership, there are plenty of things you can do from the comfort of your own home.

Tashi Skervin, a runner, trainer, and founder of fitness bootcamp TSC Method, recommends getting out a yoga mat and trying out some strength-based cardio exercises. Skaters are a good option, because “they get your heart rate up to improve your cardiovascular fitness just like running does”. To do skaters, “stand with both feet on the ground, jump over to the right, and whilst your right leg lands on the ground keep your left leg elevated”. From here, you “shift your bodyweight whilst your left leg is still elevated and repeat”.

She also suggests trying high intensity mountain climbers, which you do from a plank position on the floor. To complete the movement, “charge your knees left and right into your chest”, almost as though you’re running in a plank position. Not only is this good for your cardiovascular health, but it will also help you improve your core strength. Try doing three rounds of 30 seconds of each of these exercises, with 15 seconds of rest in between.
