In the past several months, every single country has issued a few new rules and regulations changing our everyday habits and behavior drastically. This has particularly disrupted our fitness routines, and those among you who have just started them before the pandemic, this has been quite a blow to the whole industry and every individual out there. Due to social distancing requirements, group fitness classes are no longer possible, gym visits are limited or completely forbidden, and outdoor alternatives have started arising as one of the most optimal solutions. This is one of the reasons that many people started working out from home.

Online guided training to beat stressUsing your diet to stay in shapeHead outdoors for some nature ZenKeep yourself accountable

The irony of the situation is that exercise is vital for our health and wellbeing, which is in turn key to keeping our immune systems strong enough to battle the coronavirus pandemic more effectively. The increased stress of being cooped up alone is enough to cause other health issues on top of lack of physical activity. Despite the changes in these new rules, there’s so much you can do to comfortably exercise, use workouts to banish stress, and of course, stay resilient in the upcoming period, too.

Online guided training to beat stress

With a few essential bits of equipment that you’d normally use for your workouts, such as a yoga mat, a pair of comfortable and supportive sneakers, and perhaps a few tools such as a kettlebell, jump rope, and the like, you can craft so many workouts for home use. When you need extra inspiration, however, you can sign up for online workouts instead. 

There are free versions as well as paid memberships for guided training sessions, and you can easily time your workouts the way you see fit, so that you start sweating off some stress until the pandemic is over. Training regularly will help you protect your mental wellbeing, not just your physical fitness.

Using your diet to stay in shape

During the pandemic, so many women are exhausted spending all of their time at home, balancing work and taking care of their kids, with little to no social life to recuperate. More often than not, many women lack the energy to stay true to a training routine, and it’s difficult to feel inspired when you’re spending most of your time at home. This is where other healthy habits of yours step up and save the day. 

In particular, your nutrition can make all the difference in the world to elevate your energy before you need to train and help you boost your mood afterwards. You can revise your diet by introducing protein shakes for women in your meal plan that are designed to help elevate your zeal and keep you going when you’re feeling low. In turn, you’ll be able to consume enough healthy protein in your diet, feel full for longer, and rebuild your stamina with training consistency.

Head outdoors for some nature Zen

Have you tried running or doing bodyweight training in your local park in the morning sun instead of staying at home? It turns out that regular outdoor workouts are exceptionally healthy both for your mind and your body. The fresh air combined with vitamin D will keep your immunity powerful whereas you’ll have a myriad of training options at your disposal: swimming, running, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, surfing, and many others. 

Keep yourself accountable

Due to all the chaos and negativity you’re surrounded with, you might often find yourself feeling too overwhelmed to work out. After all, it’s easier to stay in bed, binge watch your favorite Netflix show, and order takeout. Without your instructors pushing you through the final reps and your friends inviting you for a vigorous run, it can be difficult to stay true to your goals.

Motivation for regular training is as challenging to handle as the training itself. Although your trainers and friends cannot be physically present to remind you that you can and should keep going, you can set up a support system that’s digital in nature. Ask your friend to call you in the morning and remind you of your workout, and then to send a text to see how well you’ve done for the day. Use an app to select pre-made workouts and make it easier for you to exercise. You can also start a journal to see how you’re progressing, which will give you a boost when you feel like stopping instead. 

As the pandemic still rages on all over the world, with so many countries under lockdown and others slowly recuperating one day at a time, your individual responsibilities to prevent the spread of the virus remain high. Your behavior will certainly determine how safe those around you are, and how easily the virus will spread. However, while gyms and large gatherings are no longer ideal solutions to keep you fit and strong, you certainly have an abundance of solutions at your disposal. Make sure to work out in this upcoming period so that your own immune strength and your mental stability remain steadfast.
