At Men's Health, we're using this period as an opportunity to build up our community and share as much useful, positive information as possible. For everyone stuck missing their typical workout routines with gyms and fitness centers closed down, we've done our best to provide as many at-home workout options as possible . But that's just the start. We're also hosting live workout sessions on Instagram with some of our favorite trainers to fill the fitness class-shaped void in your daily routine.

David Freeman , national program manager of Life Time's Alpha program, hosted the latest session from his home. The strength interval workout will challenge you to use your muscles and work as hard as possible in short bursts of effort. You'll need a kettlebell for the seriesbut you can get by with a dumbbell or a loaded backpack.

Freeman's theme for the session, which he says is designed to get you sweating, is F.O.C.U.S. That stands for Finding Original Creative Unique Solutions, he says. You can apply that type of thinking to your workout and just about any problem you might encounterjust think outside the box to come up with your own conclusions. "We focus so much on the problem," Freeman says. "If we take our time to create a solution, that's how you create a change... You have to go back to the focus of what you can do."
