Fitness In The Home During 'Lockdown'
For many, carrying out their normal gym routine, as we know, is not possible right now! We don't know how long this will go on for and it's really important now, more than ever, that we keep up our good health and fitness routine, albeit adapted in some way.
For quite some time now - long before the virus hit - I've been championing the benefits of working out at home and introduced The Tuffit and band workouts. The reason I brought together these packages was because, no matter what, it's not always possible to get to the gym due to work commitments, childcare and so on. As a result progess can be slowed, motivation can hit a low and it can be really hard getting back in to the swing again.
Working out at home may not be for everyone, as it can be all too tempting to curl up on the sofa with a cuppa. That said, it isn't that hard and once you've formed an exercise routine, like any other sticking to it does become easier. There are lots of exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home with minimal equipment or simple bodyweight exercises.
There are many people out there who don't exercise at all, not because they're lazy but because its hard getting off the starting blocks. They don't know where to start or may have commitments that mean it's not possible to go to the gym or take part in any activity.
This 'lockdown' is hard for everyone at the moment and we are only in week 1! Staying fit and healthy is super important not only for your body but your mind also. I believe that there are also positives to this situation - we get to catch up on things we never get round to - spend time with our family - read that book that's been shelved for years, and so on and so on.
If you are one of those people that's been thinking about taking up exercise and leading a healthier lifestyle, then now is your perfect opportunity to do so! Like many, I'm home so if you need any advice on getting started then feel free to contact me.
Take care, be safe.
