Exercising in the time of COVID
I am very surprised that I am working out more during this COVID pandemic than before. I think the reason is because if I sit at my desk at home for too long I feel like I am going nuts so I get up and do steps. Also I just recently started wearing a Fit bit and since I am a competitive person by nature, I am constantly trying to up my game.
For example, I have my Fit bit set to remind me to do a minimum of 250 steps between the hours of 7 to 3. But now I feel compelled to get up early and do 1,000 steps before 7 am. It makes me feel so much more awake. Then during the day I try to do more than 250 steps per hour. It is really hard when I am in meetings so if I can't do the steps in one hour I try to catch up in the next.
It's funny, I really thought I would hate having a watch that told me what to do so I resisted wearing it. But now I can't live without it. The first thing I do in the morning is put it on. I don't go anywhere without it and I make sure it is always charged.
But to add a little levity in today's times, I stumbled on this work out video that is a riot. The instructor starts out saying that she wears a head band because she hasn't washed her hair in 11 days and the headband if worn tight enough acts like a face lift. Click on the link working out below and enjoy. Maybe if you have all her equipment you can work out with her.
A new perspective on Working out during the Covid Epidemic.
