For many of us a lot of things have changed over the last few weeks, working from home, not as active as normal and full of a mixture of emotions. .
I struggle with not being able to go out when I please or socialise with friends & colleagues which does affect my mood. But it also helped me realise how important it is to stay positive and move as much as I can whilst being restricted. .
🏡Working from home... you are going to have a different set up to what you are use to at your office. This is most likely going to give you a few aches and pains & most likely mean you are going to spend more time slouched back in your comfy chair (which isn’t great for your posture) 🌟So build yourself a 2 min stretch/move routine that you can do throughout your daily routine! .
🌪You will probably experience a mixture of a emotions from happy, positive & motivated to stressed, lonely, sad. And that is ok! But why not try realising some ‘happy’ hormones to get you going for the day. 🌟As hard as it may be some mornings push yourself to get up & start your day with a 20-30 mins workout before you get going for the rest of your day. This will get you blood pumping & hormones flowing giving you the boost you need. There are so many tutorials online to help with this so mix it up, one day cardio, one day strength, one day HIIT.. But keep it fun! .
🕺🏼Being restricted time our homes naturally means we are not moving as much as usual. But your spine loves movement so please don’t deprive it of that! It’s easy to binge watch a series on Netflix & there is nothing wrong with that but try and get up every now and then. Prolonged sitting will stiffen up our joints and we will lose movement, along with posture getting worse. 🌟I have series I am catching up on too, so I have been doing a stretching/mobility session whilst watching one episode which gets my bum of the sofa for a little longer and makes me feel much better! .
But times are tough remember to keep in touch with your loved ones 💗
