Coronavirus has been the most terrifying yet peculiar thing to ever hit the US/world. With so many new laws and restrictions in place hoping to keep us all as safe as possible, it makes the everyday routines we are used to almost impossible to now attend or partifipate in.
One of those difficult new protocols is for gyms. The spread of germs is so quick and widespread when referring to a fitness center. In many ways, it makes sense as to why they had to form new policies with Coronavirus spreading, but it also creates an atmosphere that many deem difficult due to the mask-wearing and 6 ft social distancing.
Are there any other options?
One thing I have come to see from friends of mine who practice fitness religiously or even lead various fitness classes is the wearing of a face shield. If you are migraine or headache prone, you may want to wait for other options, but I have seen the benefits of these coverings as they are not as tight-fitting around the mouth, so to give your brain the thought of easier breathing, and in the cases of asthma – you truly are experiencing easier breathing. This can make the overall experience of working out more enjoyable and doable.
Unfortunately, this still is not an option for everyone and you may still be wondering how to make it work. One of the biggest suggestions is outdoor fitness. If you are hoping to settle in an environment that contains weight lifting products – I would invest in an at-home gym. This can sound daunting and expensive, which yes, it is, but it is an option if you were already paying for a membership. Use the money you would be spending each month to save up for different fitness tools and accessories. This gives you space at your own home for doing what you love but being able to do it mask free, and in a comfortable and manageable environment.
Breakdown
Things may never be the same, but as long as we work to experience life to the fullest, we will be okay. We must stick together, love one another, take care of our bodies and immune systems, and try to live out our time on this earth with the least amount of regrets.
A Happy You is a Healthy You!
