Sweating for the Wedding During COVID-19
With mandatory shutdowns of area gyms, forced and self quarantines, and the current necessity for social distancing, working out may be last on your list of concerns. BUT you may want to move it up a bit. If you’ve been working out for your wedding for months, you don’t want to lose your progress just because the snack pantry keeps calling your name while you’re working from home. We all have more downtime right now which means more snacking, more lounging and less movement.
Working out and getting your blood pumping could be just what you need to boost your mood and make these dreary days a bit brighter. Taking some “you” time in the form of physical activity is an important addition to your self care routine while at home. Not to mention, it’s a perfect time to rope your significant other into some quality fitness time together since they likely don’t have a good excuse as to why they can’t join you…
Fitness apps and gyms have stepped up in a big way to help you get your fix at home. Inject your working remote schedule with some endorphin-rushing routines courtesy of these free at-home workout options.
