Boost your immune system naturally

Staying Fit During Quarantine

Are you ready to get your whole family into the “Fit” mode? Our current stay at home situation provides us a unique opportunity to not only address our personal shortcomings but most importantly improve on our strengths. So how do we get the kids involved? Only so many books you can read, movies you can watch or online games you can play. Time to get a move on and for the children (of all ages) exercise has many benefits for them, from reducing anxiety and depression to improving concentration and sleep. During these challenging times it’s important to re-imagine physical activity for youth so it stays a part of their routine while at the same time keeping your own workout routine in check.

Let us get the kids involved!

To keep the family active, invite kids to join your workout if appropriate. A great way to involve your young ones is to have them pick out the warm-up or cool-down so they will feel more engaged. If your kids are not old enough to participate, provide them a designated space such as “workout toy box” where specific toys are only shared during parent-workout time. Just as our Studio is providing Online and Outdoor classes, there are many live-streaming exercise classes and recordings geared for kids. Services such as BOKS provide free daily classes. These are great options to build in exercise as part of the family’s new housebound routine.

If you have older teens, get them involved as well with a little creativity and flexibility. Host friendly family competitions, participate in social media exercise challenges, use a reward system (e.g., exercise time for screen time) or empower the teen to create the family exercise activity. Overall, fitness experts agreed: Don’t overthink it; have fun and be flexible! Some of the options mentioned may require some additional thought or preparation, but the important thing is to keep you and your family moving where it can simply be a family walk one day and a live-streaming class the next.

Staying fit through the holidays

Before you beat yourself up, it’s okay; we’ve all been there, but you must take constructive action in the form of accountability. For example, you will need to consider the difference in calories and macro-nutrients consumed versus your daily plan or requirements. Accountability can be accomplished preemptive to the festivities, during, of course post consumption, and combination of all three. During a recent Nutritional Workshop at our studio, ‘Why am I not losing weight” foundations such as daily hydration, sleep implications and alcohol consumption effects on weight management were discussed.

How to take personal accountability and being successful with a realistic nutritional plan in a society fixated on excess of food, and not good quality, was also part of the conversation. Some simple rules to follow such keeping in motion, indulging minimally, proper mindset, hydration, sleep, etc., will keep you on your fitness track during the holidays as well as when vacationing. Personal trainer, actress, and former bikini competitor Alicia Ziegler, CNS, also knows the importance of planning ahead for a holiday party.

"Don't think that, by not eating all day, you're doing yourself a favor in the calorie-saving department," she says. "You'll be far more likely to go hog-wild at a party if you're starving."

In addition to encouraging proper pre-party nourishment, Ziegler is quick to mention the importance of hydration. "Staying hydrated is key, especially if you tend to find yourself with a cocktail in one hand and a sugary morsel in the other," she says. "If you must splurge, at least eat some fibrous foods in between." Stay positive and continue you fitness routine and fat gains and frustrating weight fluctuations will be minimized.
