Many things are going on, and the panic is in high gear. Many things we can control, and many other things we cannot. For me, my escape is to go burn off frustration by working out. We are still supposed to be practicing social distancing with everything going on with COVID-19. For me, I have a corner in my garage–The Reiflex Center. My sanctuary at times. It is my time go escape from life, and work out frustrations, and then feel like I am ready to go take on things again. You don’t need to have a special corner in the garage, or in the house. You just need a spot to do some movement, and very easily can incorporate body weight exercises.
Sarah can do her sit ups…
Me doing resistance exercise for my legs by doing wall sits…
Megan doing her side planks…
Me doing pull ups using my TRX bands. You don’t need to have special equipment to do this. You can do them just using the wall, or get down on the floor and do pushups. If you have not done them in the past, you don’t know how tough some of these can be. They are great for building strength though…and for burning off frustrations!
My corner of the garage with some of the equipment I have. Nothing extravagant, but a variety to utilize! My problem solving corner!
It has melted enough outside where much of the trails are clear to use. Go for a walk! You are outside, and still practicing social distancing! Our dogs love it! The last few days have been colder with the wind, but this coming week we will bet back into the 50’s.
Dakota is always ready to lead the way!
There are many reasons to exercise, now more than ever. Here is a list to start with—now more than ever! You can do these exercises at home. No excuse!
We are in unchartered territory for all of us. We need to keep our heads on. Burn off frustrations and fears by doing some activity. Take our minds off of everything for a short time. We need to feel like we are ready to take on things again as they come. Each day brings something else. Be ready to tackle it head on. Keep moving everybody!
