One of the concerns you may have while sheltering in place is the lack of exercise you’re getting now that you’re not going to the gym daily. With round-the-clock access to your kitchen and fridge, you could be snacking more, too. The best way to prevent weight gain while self-isolating is to find new and creative ways to be active around the house. Surprisingly enough, it’s a lot easier than you thought it would be.
Fun and Easy Ways to Exercise While Following Social Distancing Guidelines
There are many ways to stay active while at home. We’ve listed some ideas for you to consider here. That way, you don’t go stir-crazy while social distancing.
Do Some Sun Salutations First Thing in the Morning
Yoga is an excellent way to stay limber. It helps move lymphatic fluid throughout the body, too, which reduces waste build-up and inflammation. If you don’t own a yoga mat, it’s a great time to get one. Yoga is a quiet practice that you can work into your daily routine effortlessly.
Go for a Quick Dip in Your Swimming Pool
Talk about refreshing! It’s a remarkable way to beat the heat when the temperatures rise. It’s also one of the fastest ways to tone your muscles and reduce stress. Don’t be in a hurry to rush indoors, either. Fifteen minutes in the sun a day without sunscreen is all it takes to get the full benefit of Vitamin D without supplementation.
Get Outdoors and Weed Your Garden
Growing an organic garden is very satisfying. Not only does it ensure that you have access to fresh produce regularly, but it also serves as an excellent form of exercise. Spend some time weeding your garden. If you do it long enough, you’ll be in fantastic physical shape before you know it.
Throw an Impromptu Dance Party
Stop what you’re doing from time to time to dance. Crank up the tunes and get down. Shake the tension out of your muscles. Be sure to stretch for a few minutes before making any strenuous dance moves to prevent yourself from becoming injured.
The list of ideas is endless. It doesn’t matter if you move your body for five minutes or fifty minutes. The point is to find ways to sneak more activity into your day. From walking up and down your stairs a few extra times to spending time outdoors gardening, mowing the lawn, or swimming, you’ve got options. If you engage in a physical task that burns calories, you’ll get a must-needed job done while getting into shape.
Keep Moving and Grooving to Create a Sense of Normalcy in Your Life
You may not be ready to go back to the gym or yoga class just yet. That doesn’t mean that you can do without physical activity much longer. By making it a point to move your body in ways that feel good to you while home, you produce extra endorphins, which are the chemicals in the brain that help you feel good.
