As we all settle into our new normal of social distancing, I’ve found that a lot of people are struggling with ways to continue to stay healthy. We are all going through a major shift in our lives – and with that can come stress eating, emotional eating, comfort eating, compulsive snacking, lack of exercise and other unhealthy habits.
For the most part, we’re confined to staying in our homes with an occasional stroll outside, and for many us our physical activity has taken a nosedive. On top of it all, most families are currently without childcare, which can make finding time to go for a run or do a long workout much more challenging. Unfortunately, a major change in your physical fitness routine can take a toll on both your mental and physical well being, especially in a time when you are experiencing other outside stressors.
To bridge the gap, several of our local health and wellness studios are offering free and subscription-based streaming workouts. These include on-demand and live class options so you can choose which ones work best for your schedule and workout style. I hope these virtual experiences can make you feel healthier, mentally and physically, and more connected to our community and the comfort of routine.
