Since the pandemic, we have learned that we can pretty much do absolutely everything and anything from the comfort of our homes. From working or going to class to even learn how to dye our own hair, we have navigated all activities and adapted them so that they can be performed indoors. One of the most important and useful tasks we took over, was working out from the comfort of our room, living room or even backyard. Even though it may seem obvious and easy like “just grab a yoga mattress and follow a routine on YouTube”, we have found (from experience) that it takes more than just the drive to do it.

We have prepared a series of tips so that you can workout from home and do it efficiently, comfortably and most importantly… have fun! This is the Waku Guide to Perfect your At-Home Workout. Take a look!
