Exercise at Home #5

Posted on December 1, 2020 by

The Lake House has released its fifth installment of YouTube exercise videos. These videos show how different exercises can be modified to meet the needs and abilities of different people.

If you are not comfortable going into The Lake House, rather than avoiding exercises, you can do them from home. Mark Durinsky, Lake House Personal Trainer, offers hints on how to modify exercises such as squats, pushups, and the plank. Did you know if you do not have weights, you can use items typically found around your home like water bottles or canned food items?

These videos are only 4 or 5 minutes long and demonstrate how different exercises can be adapted for anyone wanting a less difficult workout or those who would like to start exercising again.

Check out this new video here. It includes the following 3 exercises (Shoulder Press with March, Bent Row to Reverse Fly, and Russian Twist) that can be done standing or seated.

The Social Dilemma (Documentary 2020)

The Victim (TV Mini-series 2019)

Safeguard: An Electoral College Story (Documentary 2020)

Once you set up a login, you can also add titles you are interested in to the JustWatch “watchlist.” It has more features but this is a start. We love the app! “- a Tidelines reader
