With gyms closed and team sports canceled, it can be tempting to sit on the sofa and binge Netflix. However, maintaining the physical health and mental wellness of you and your family is crucial right now. Implementing a regular exercise routine at home can help with both.

Here are a few of our top tips for staying fit while staying home.

💪 GET OUT WHEN YOU CAN

If you live in a community where you can maintain distance while exercising outdoors, try to get out as much as possible. If the weather is nice, go for family walks, jogs, or bike rides.

💪 SEARCH FOR A 6’ x 6’ SPACE

Can’t get outside? Look for a suitable space in your home, garage, or basement where you can comfortably move—you’ll probably need at least a 6’ x 6’ area for each person.

💪 NO EQUIPMENT? NO PROBLEM

Many cardio and strength training exercises require little (or no) equipment, including jumping jacks, lunges, and pushups.

💪 PREFER A GUIDED WORKOUT?

Search for free exercise videos on YouTube—there are even options specifically geared towards kids—or try one of the many fitness apps available.

It truly “takes a village” to keep a community functioning effectively throughout the year. And the holidays are the perfect time to consider how you can give back to the people who make up that village.

Don’t think you need to “go big or go home,” though. You can make a big difference one small act at a time.

You could…

🥫 Organize a food drive to collect and donate grocery staples

💵 Leave a generous tip for a service provider

🧸 Gift toys to children of needy families

💌 Send holiday cards to deployed military personnel

⏳ Give your time to a cause or organization that really matters to you

We’re all being encouraged to as much as possible these days. To help you make the best of it, we wanted to share a few tips for creating comfortable and functional spaces within your home for work, school, and play.

🏠 BEGIN WITH THE BASICS

An emergency preparedness kit is a great addition to any home, even under normal circumstances. [Message me for a free copy of our Home Emergency Preparation Checklist.]

🏠 WORKING FROM HOME

Set up a designated space for work so it doesn’t creep into your home life, and vice versa. A red stop sign on your door or desk can signal to family members that you shouldn’t be disturbed.

🏠 HOMESCHOOLING YOUR CHILDREN

Position supplies nearby so they are independently accessible, and place trash and recycling bins within reach for easy cleanup. A plastic tablecloth can turn an academic space into an art studio.

🏠 STAYING FIT

Look for an open area in your home or garage with a minimum 6’ x 6’ space per person. Search YouTube for exercise videos—there are even some great ones geared towards kids!

🏠 SOCIALIZING FROM A DISTANCE

Try using Google Hangouts or Zoom to facilitate a virtual happy hour or book club, or host a Netflix Party to watch (and chat about) movies with friends.
