“As I spent more time at home, I gained more weight...” This seems to be a phrase heard during these times. According to an internet survey (*) conducted by cosmetics company Kao and others, weight gain and poor physical condition have occurred because of changes in life due to the coronavirus and lack of exercise at home. Lately, more people are incorporating fitness at home.
Here are some good tips and techniques for at-home exercise from several fitness companies.

Here are some exercise options used by the baseball team, Seibu Lions
At Seibu Lions, the official training course "Leotray-Lions and everyone together" is supervised by the staff of the medical conditioning group of the baseball team. This group helps with the physical care and conditioning of the athletes. It is available on the website and the official YouTube team channel.
There are five different fitness regimes. First, we will discuss Kyoukaku. This is a great set of exercises to help with stiff shoulders and back pain from working from home, and focuses on the area from the neck to abdomen. Athletes report that doing these exercises help prevent injuries around the shoulders and lower back.

The videos demonstrate exercises that are easily done at home. Team members such as Masuda and Hirai make appearances. These exercises do not involve any vigorous movements, so anyone can do these at home.
You can get free exercise videos by FYTTE delivered to your home
The Diet and Fitness and Healthcare channel, FYTTE (operated by Gakken Plus), is offering a video project called Yurutto Exercise at home. It is available through the Instagram account @fytte_jp. Starting on May 1st, there will be weekly exercises provided at 5pm each Friday. These exercises are great for doing in your spare time.

The videos are designed for those who are new to developing exercise habits. The group devised twelve types of exercises for beginners to be able to do while sitting down. The trainer is Reiko Kawamura. These are exercises designed to do while sitting and teleworking or watching TV.

You can target specific areas of your body, such as abdomen, buttocks, legs, back, and face. The exercises are really fun. Kawamura-sensei will guide you in an easy-to-understand manner, so even beginners are can participate.
