Walaupun tinggal di dalam rumah, rakyat Malaysia disarankan untuk kekal aktif, sama ada melalui senaman atau aktiviti fizikal. Pada masa kini terdapat pelbagai senaman di rumah yang boleh dilakukan, contohnya:

• Senaman yang berbentuk kardio bagi yang mempunyai basikal senaman atau treadmill di rumah.
• Senaman yang menggunakan berat badan sendiri, seperti push-ups, squats, planks, burpees dan lounges (yang menggunakan pelbagai otot tanpa memerlukan peralatan khusus), senaman Tabata dan senaman ringan seperti yoga atau tai chi.

Rakyat Malaysia juga boleh kekal aktif dengan melakukan pelbagai bentuk tarian dan mengambil peluang untuk melakukan spring cleaning di dalam rumah. Kajian menunjukkan bahawa senaman dan aktiviti fizikal adalah penting untuk mengekalkan kesihatan mental dengan meningkatkan mood dan melegakan kebimbangan dan keresahan. Ia membantu mengasah minda, meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan kekuatan aerobik.

• Cardio-based exercises for those who have exercise bicycles or treadmills at home.
