With all of life’s stresses going on right now, we need to make our health an even higher priority. A great way to relieve some of that stress is to do some resistance training, or weight workouts. It is a great way to exercise, and blow off steam at the same time. A corner of my garage is now converted into my own gym: The Reiflex Center!
I have had this now for several years, and have gradually increased the amount of the equipment we use in it. It is very convenient, and I have a heater for the Winter, and I can go out and workout anytime I want, any day I want. I can jump rope, do pullups, sit ups, and several other pieces of equipment that I can be creative on what I do. I mix it up and have a variety of different activities, and go out for 20-30 minutes, 3 days a week, and usually with Sarah. It is always easier to workout when you have a partner to push you as well.
Sarah and I don’t just tell everybody they need to exercise more, we do it as well. Get going with some music blaring, and burn off those frustrations. It sets the tone for the day as we are usually out there by 6 AM when we do start. We feel fired up for the day, and ready to take it on. We definitely love to run, and this helps increase both our strength, and our endurance, helping even that much more with our running. We all need to do resistance training of some sort 2-3 times a week. Create your own space, or go to a gym/wellness center. Whatever works for you, just get out there and do it. Right now is an even more important time to do this with all of the stress of 2020 going on. Take care of yourself in the process! Keep moving everybody!
