Don’t Put Your Health on Hold
April 13, 2020
Is your gym closed? Is your in-building fitness center closed? Being home everyday may lead you to think that your fitness goals have been put on pause, and you can take the time off. I am here to tell you that the OPPOSITE is true! If you have been fitness driven before, I know you can find ways to get your workout in. If you understand the importance of your body and health, then I know you are driven to continue pushing your best self. And if you are neither, I am here to tell you that this is the perfect time for change. As most of us, our daily routine and schedules have been forced to change. With this unavoidable change that has happened, the sooner you accept it, the sooner you can take control of your actions.
Like I said earlier, now is the best time to commit to your fitness & health goals as you have more time on your hands. This won’t be easy. You are inside all day and continuously being tempted by snacks, extra calories, and an abundant time on Netflix.
Here are a few PRO Tips for staying accountable on your health and fitness during this quarantine!
Plan your workout the night before!
Just like making a general schedule, it is more important to plan ahead your workouts. With the gym closed or limited access to personal trainers, you will need to create a plan for yourself on how you are going to workout. What home equipment do you need? What space in your house will you need? What intervals, repetitions, sets, etc do you plan on doing? Having motivation to exercise is amazing, but not having a plan can quickly take away that motivation and the results will not be there.
Make a Daily Schedule
Creating a daily schedule will help you stay on track with your fitness. Look ahead and see which days you can workout and what time. It might have to be between your 2 & 4 pm conference calls! Having a schedule will make you feel control and keep you sane during this time. Plan when you are going to wake up, eat, work, etc so you know when to put your workout in. Creating and staying on your daily schedule will also keep you accountable if you are feeling bored or unmotivated at home.
Meal Prep
Your nutrition during this time is going to KEY. Being bored and sitting around all day can lead to overeating. Some leniency is okay to stay sane, but stress eating can only lead to more distress during stressful times. Eating right will help you feel better overall. Try to plan ahead with your meals. Laying everything out can help you see everything you are eating and deter you from all the unnecessary snacking! Again, change. Try new recipes. Try new fruits and vegetables. Try new types of grains. Leave the familiar snacks or sweets in the store!
