GETTING EXERCISE BACK INTO YOUR ROUTINE EVEN DURING COVID-19

November 20, 2020

When COVID-19 and its effects came into our lives, many thought that they would take this time to focus on their fitness goals in whatever way that meant for them. But there has also been those who are fatigued by trying to keep up with their old routines. Nearly 22% of people say that they have gained weight during the past few months.

Dan Green, who is with the American Council on Exercise brought up this struggle during his family zoom call and, using his expertise as a health professional, he helped his family set the following strategies to reestablish good habits.

1. Let go of guilt and shame.
Have grace and compassion for yourself, as you would for others, and don’t dwell on perceived failures.

2. Set new, values-aligned goals.
If going to the gym 3 days per week is no longer an option, swap that goal with going on a family walk 3 days per week.

3. Embrace family fitness.
Similar to the tip above, try to sync your kids’ or spouse’s lunch hour with your own and spend it outdoors. Quick game of basketball, anyone?

4. Stop trying to find “normal.”
What have you always wanted to try, or what’s a new hobby you have? Find what you actually enjoy – it doesn’t have to be the same daily.

5. Temptation bundle and habit stack.
Match the things you know you should do with things you want to do to offset goal tasks with the things that you find fun to create new habits.

6. Nutrition is still key.
Stock your house with nutritious foods like fruits and veggies so that boredom or isolation doesn’t test your willpower and have you reaching for junk food.
