Hi Fit Friends,

First, I want to thank you for clicking here.  I miss you fiercely and miss all your smiling energetic faces. I hope your are healthy and well.  I have a couple in home work outs for you to try below.

With so much uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps the most important thing you can do for your mental and physical health—outside of meticulously practicing social distancing, or, as I’ve come to call it, physical distancing—is to regularly move your body. Hundreds of scientific studies show that physical activity is associated with dramatic reductions in depression and anxiety. Other research shows that regular exercise boosts immunity, so long as you aren’t redlining yourself all the time. 

It’s a conundrum. At a time when physical activity is more important than ever, it also seems to be harder than ever. But this is largely an illusion. It doesn’t take much to get a good workout in. Here are two I’ve suggested:
1st work out below

2nd work out
10/10 reps Horsestance or bird dogs 
20 reps push ups
10/10 reps Drinking birds or single leg hinge (RDL)
20 reps Body weight squats hold 1 or 2 water jugs filled :}
1 minute forearm plank can add alternating toe lift or alternating shoulder taps
20 alternating reverse lunges watch alignment (ankle, knee & hip forward)
20 jumping jax
3 Get ups to standing on each side
20 reps roll ups reaching for the sky can also hold 1 water jug over head ;}
30 / 30 seconds Side plank with upper arm reach through (reach hand up to the sky then down towards your belly)

A key to exercising regularly is making it automatic a part of a well-worn routine. It’s not surprising, then, that exercise may feel especially challenging right now, given that so many of our routines have been thrown out of whack. Here are a few tricks to help you get back on track. Schedule your work out days ahead of time, just like we would do at our sessions.
I know its hard to stay motivated right now, I struggle too. Remember this! It’s as simple mood follows action: you don’t need to feel good to get going, you need to get going and then you’ll feel good. Your work outs do not need to be long, JUST MOVE!
Have compassion for yourself and start small then add more days and times as the routine begins to become part of your new changes.

Create physical boundaries around your time for movement.

Unplug while your working out
 There will be less distractions this way.

Set your goals to be realistic. Instead of doing the best your can with a timer,  think about movement for your overall health, well being and for your family.

I hope this helps. Please leave a comment if you tried one of the work outs.  I like to read your feed back. If you liked the work out would you be so kind to share with a friend.

Have a happy healthy Day!

Lots of love and virtual hugs!!
