In March, the United States went into quarantine due to the Corona virus spreading rapidly. No one was allowed to leave their houses unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, gyms were closed and sports seasons were cut short. Lots of people decided over the duration of quarantine to do at-home workouts to either keep in shape while gyms were inaccessible and sports seasons were put to an end or to better their lifestyle and fitness ability to overall become a healthier person. As at-home workouts started to become a trend during quarantine, trainers started to release programs and videos for the public to complete in place of those that would be working out at their local gym.
