Full body

So with this working from home situation I have realized that I sometimes cannot complete the full circles in my watch (it's an AppleWatch thing, that tells you to move if you've been too sedentary). Even though I’m taking a short run almost every day, I am  supplementing that with a little bit of exercise at home. One, because I’ve been eating like an animal and if keeps going like this, I’m gonna gain two hundred pounds during this whole social distancing debacle. Two, because the weather is still unpredictable and I don't like to run in the rain and the cold. Not pretty.

So I went to Google and immediately YouTube gave me suggestions. Sometimes knowing Big Brother is watching is unsettling. But hey. We need to take advantage of everything. So I went down the rabbit hole looking for some short, doable series of exercises that would keep me active and keep the chunk at bay. Yo would not believe the variety. The series I post here is by Sam Cushing and I find it to be accessible enough. Obviously, I cannot make the same exercises he does the way he does them. I would need more training, more stamina and, of course that body. Not happening. Especially that side squat and the pushups. I do girl pushups. Don’t you dare judge me.

But I have found that including these in my daily routine gives my mornings (and days) a sometimes necessary boost and some sorely needed structure. One of the worst things about the Pandemic is that the days that before were organized and full of activities, meetings, errands and movement seem like a distant memory now. Now my days seem to be centered on the same rooms at home and the occasional excursion to the outside world, where we try to do social distancing and stay away from the idiots who do not wear masks.

So you should give these exercise routines a try and let me know what you think. I found them fun and hello, eye candy!

Oh. Here. In case you like a little bit of variety.



You're welcome.
