My son has recently asked me, “why do people say the expression ‘uncertain times’ when they talk?” I explained to him that we have a new normal...and we may never go back to the way it used to be. These “uncertain times” have everyone asking so many questions. I recently asked someone how their fitness journey was going, and their response was, “horrible because the school won’t let people in the community go to the gym.” Well, I thought this week’s article, we could talk about fitness and nutrition during these “uncertain times.”
Back when we were all in quarantine, I wrote an article discussing things you can do for a good workout, and it still can be done now. The great thing about our community is that we have a CrossFit gym that you can go to if you want a gym. There are so many online workouts that you can do too. I turned our living room into a home gym. You can also order weights or resistance bands online. Or you can use anything around the house too. And if you look online, you can find all kinds of workouts for anything that you want to do.
But remember, as I stated in another article, if it’s losing weight that you’re interested in, remember that nutrition is 80% and working out is 20%. And focusing on eating right, helps your body feel good!
It’s easy to be angry and frustrated nowadays. It’s easy to get sucked up into the negativity. But remember that focusing your energy on working out, eating right, and reading personal development can help harness those feelings. Exercise is good for you in more ways than one. And if you are even just going for a walk every day, that’s something, and you should be proud of yourself.
Let’s spread positivity.
