Staying Fit while Coping at Home

Updated: Aug 2, 2021

While you may be stuck at home these next couple of weeks, there still are a number of things you can do to stay fit:

Get a partner who is currently with you at your home or find a virtual friend to join you. Inspire them to work out with you and eat right.

Create a Daily Food and Exercise Schedule for the next week (Monday through Sunday) and tape it up on your refrigerator door:

a. Exercise schedule.

- Make it a daily routine.

- Get up during commercials and walk around the dining room table.

- Click on the below 20-30 minute YouTube workout video links:

- Try any of these Fitness Apps to get in a good workout:

Nike Training Club

Try free fitness videos in categories like “Workouts in Small Spaces.”

Use AirPlay with your Apple TV for an immersive experience.

Wakeout!

On the couch? Smash a pillow. In the kitchen? Dance with skillets.

Get in some exercise with fun micro-workouts that add up.

Peloton

You don’t need a Peloton (or any equipment, actually) to get in a great workout. Choose from tons of HIIT cardio, yoga, and stretching classes.

b. Food schedule.

-Create a full weeks menu for each meal. Then consider how to daily prepare.

- Stick with Proteins (egg whites, chicken, fish, turkey, tofu), Green colored vegetables, and Salads (light on the dressing).

- Keep a food journal/diary for everything that you do eat (including snacks and meals).

Limit the alcohol, sugary drinks, juices, and children's leftovers.
Drink 1-2 cups of water/seltzer throughout the day (put a timer on your clock).
Sleep. Keep your regular sleep schedule. Don't stay up late.
Engage in some stress reducing activities: Yoga, leisurely reading.
