With everyone staying home during the quarantine, people can start feeling unsteady and restless. According the World Health Organization, staying at home for prolonged periods can pose a significant challenge for remaining physically active. Sedentary behavior and low levels of physical activity can have negative effects on the health, well-being and quality of life of individuals. Self-quarantine can also cause additional stress and challenge the mental health of citizens.
