Workout From Home.

Although restrictions have eased and gyms and studios have opened, many of us still do not feel comfortable going back to our pre-pandemic ways. So, this leaves us with the question...what can we do to stay fit? Let's explore that!

Are you missing your pre-pandemic workout routine? Did you belong to a gym, yoga studio, or spinning studio? For many of us, the pandemic has disrupted our routines and forced us to explore other modes of exercise as we navigate our new “socially distanced” world.

Well, actually, there are lots of choices! For instance, you can take it outside and run, walk, hike, paddle board, or bike! You can opt to go virtual and take yoga, barre, mat pilates, stretching, and kickboxing online classes. Find these through your local studios or from around the world! You can also search YouTube where you will literally find thousands of courses, and many of them are free to boot! If you haven’t already and are feeling adventurous, two exercises we believe are worth exploring are HIIT and Yoga. Why? Because they are both easy to practice at home, require minimal equipment, and have remarkable effects on your physical and emotional wellbeing.

High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, became popular a few years ago, though athletes have been using it for years. A HIIT workout is a short burst of high-intensity exercise followed by a very brief period of rest. An example might be: sprint as fast as possible for one minute, rest for 30 seconds, then repeat for 15 minutes. It has also been noted that HIIT workouts are a great way to jumpstart weight loss!

Most of us are familiar with some form of Yoga. Yoga combines breathing, meditation, movement, and static poses. Yoga is an ancient practice that improves flexibility and balance and has proven benefits in reducing stress. !
