Whitney Simmons: “25 MINUTE HOME WORKOUT! NO EQUIPMENT”

During the beginning of the pandemic, Whitney Simmons created a 25 minute workout that can be done at home without any equipment. In the midst of stay-at-home orders, it was difficult for people to get their daily workouts due to gyms temporarily closing. Throughout the workout, Simmons filmed her video at her house with only a yoga mat and a water bottle on hand. The video has a follow-along style with only a timer, reminders and copyright-free pop music, no voice-overs or any instruction. Even though there are no live or voice-over instructions, this video style can help viewers fully focus on the workout and simulate a gym-setting without actually needing to be in a gym. This goes to show how fitness does not have to be very expensive with specialized equipment equipment. Instead, it can simply begin at the comfort of one’s own home or even outside in the backyard with just a bottle of water.
