Earlier this year, the UK government issued a nationwide lockdown to respond to the coronavirus crisis.
Since then, gyms have been closed and most people have been asked to stay indoors as much as possible.
While this is sure to have got in the way of many fitness plans, slimmers can still stay healthy at home.
Jessie Pavelka, fitness and wellbeing expert who has recently launched the app, JP4, shared four ways to get into shape without leaving the house.

When it comes to changing the diet, slimmers do not need to follow restrictive plans.
In fact, eating more colourful foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, can change the body, the expert suggested.
Jessie told Express.co.uk: "Eat. Food heals, nourishes and nurtures our bodies and our minds. It brings us together, connecting us to ourselves and the world around us.
"Colour on your plate is always a good start to eating to feel good.
With gyms closed, finding the right exercises can be more challenging.
DON'T MISS
However, slimmers should focus on making sure they move each day, no matter what they do.
"Focus on that sweat element," Jessie said. "Each day we have an opportunity to live through our bodies.
"We must make time to give ourselves the gift of movement. Whether thats 20 minutes or an hour, show up!
To stay on track, those hoping to slim down should make an effort to think about what they are doing.
He continued: "Keeping fit and healthy at home can be less about exercise, and more about motivation.
"Its like your choice of meals; we all have a general idea on what we need to eat to be healthy, but the question is why do we make those choices? Motivation starts with awareness.
Dieters can also focus on different goals each day to help get into a healthy routine.
The expert added: "So that you can clear away mental clutter and look at your choices with a clear perspective, using what I call the Four Elements can help.
"They give you a framework that enables you to show up as the best version of you, something you can engrain into your daily routine.
"Ask yourself each day if you have focused on each one, that is Eat (diet), Sweat (exercise), Think (awareness) and Connect (connection to your feelings, and others) and youre on the road to success.
Creating the right mindset will also help slimmers get the best results while at home.
By taking time to process, dieters could set themselves up for the day and it could promote healthy habits, the expert suggested.
Jessie explained: "Think and Connect are both relative to mindfulness. When we Think, it fosters heightened awareness; consideration towards our actions.
"There is great power in simply being in the moment, especially in the challenging times that we all face, so we need to stop and just focus on the 24 hours we are in.
Connection to ourselves, another person, a group (via technology perhaps) or something greater than ourselves will help you continue to retain perspective, and ultimately together we have the opportunity to achieve more.
