Ways to stay fit in lockdown 3

Maintain Physical and Mental Health

It's hardly news that our mental health and physical fitness are inextricably linked. Numerous studies demonstrate that maintaining physical fitness helps you retain mental balance, and that being in a healthy mental state increases your resilience and resistance to illness.  

It is more critical than ever during Covid to maintain our physical fitness - not just to boost our immunity, but also to boost our mental health, which boosts our immunity. 

As the majority of people have learned, the most difficult part is motivating yourself to leave when your brain is stuffed with the difficulties of the situation, and much more so in winter, when unpleasant weather and darkness strike in before the conclusion of the working day. 

You may not be an active person by nature, or you may be a super-fit athlete who works out five days a week. Without the institutions of gyms, sports centres, courses, clubs, and competitive events, even the most athletic individual might succumb to discouragement and a lack of desire. 

Note:- It is critical to maintain a healthy body and mind in order to emerge physically and emotionally strong from this confinement. At the moment, I'm researching indoor spin cycles and rowing machines. I'd want to get in a daily exercise before heading to the clinic in the morning. Additionally, it will keep me occupied in a healthy manner in the evenings on those chilly days when gyms are closed.

Just Do It

As Nike so eloquently said, the simplest way to inspire oneself is to "just do it" A workout may be jammed into your schedule in a number of ways. Many people discover that if they don't start exercising right immediately, the excuses and other distractions build up during the day, and before you realise it, it's dark and you're exhausted from the day's work. 

Setting an alarm a few minutes sooner than usual may help you avoid this. Remind yourself that being stuck at home isn't such a big deal since you'd normally have to wake up much earlier for work or the school run. For those who do not want to exercise in the morning, a timer may be more handy. 

If you generally go to the gym after work, it's a good idea to put on your workout clothes and consider when you'll start working out throughout the day if you're used to it. Allow yourself to get dragged into negative thoughts about how tired, weak, or stressed you are; instead, concentrate on the positive consequences. Instead of driving, walk, bike, or run your errands. Even if the weather is dreary, remember that when you arrive home, you'll be met with a warm house and a nice shower... It's a little price to pay for such a significant advantage.

Make It Interesting

Take a lateral approach. Even the most dedicated exercisers might find it tedious. Alter your jogging or cycling path, or take the longer way to do your errands. Music may be an excellent motivator. Finding energising songs (even if you're not a fan of dance music) is worth the effort to help you get started. There's a reason why spin classes and aerobics sessions make you feel like you've been transported to a sweaty rave: thumping dance music gets your adrenalin rushing and your heart beating. It is a naturally occurring stimulant. 

Bring your pals along for the ride. Many teenagers work out digitally together, phoning one other during breaks to bounce up and down to their own routines or to follow an online exercise. Try to imitate them and locate a buddy or pals who would be interested in performing a workout with you, and you'll get the triple whammy of social connection, enjoyment, and becoming healthier.

Maintain Balanced and Healthy diet
