10 products I use to stay fit and healthy while spending more time inside

• With people spending more time indoors, and gyms and fitness studios still mostly closed, it's hard to keep up with a steady fitness routine, especially if access to workout gear is limited.
• Setting up a home gym is one solution, but not everyone has enough space in their apartments or homes for large workout equipment — which is why gear like ab rollers or massage balls are great alternatives.
• We rounded up 10 of our favorite products that help you keep fit and healthy while spending more time indoors, including streaming yoga programs, noise-canceling earbuds, and fitness trackers.

As a freelance writer, I haven't worked in an office in years. It's not unusual for me to spend most of my time at home aside from the occasional work travel or trips to the store to buy groceries — I also find time to get in a few turns at my local ski resort, too.

I'm also experienced in working out at home. Without access to a gym either in the city, at my apartment, or at an office, I'm used to getting creative in finding ways to keep fit and healthy around my house. In other words, I know how to turn a living room or bedroom floor into a full-on fitness studio.

Working out is a great way to beat the antsiness caused by living in a small bubble. Sure, you may be used to hitting the gym when you need to squeeze in a cardio workout but don't think the lack of a dedicated workout space means you can't stay in shape. Whether you're used to yoga classes, hitting the treadmill, or lifting weights, there's plenty of gear designed to replicate your favorite workouts that are both cheaper and easier than you may think.

Working out at home has a lot of perks and it also compliments a remote lifestyle, according to Peter Callahan, a life coach and speaker at Fresh Perspectives Life Coaching in Connecticut. He suggests that time working from home is a great chance to build healthy life habits, like moving around more throughout the weekdays.

"Our moods and energy change throughout the day," Callahan told Business Insider. "So, with more autonomy when working from home, we can experiment with our schedules and try moving and exercising at different times."
