Seems like we’ve talked more about avoiding sickness this year than ever. We have all heard many times that we’re supposed to wash hands frequently, stay at a safe distance from other people, and wear masks in public.
Don’t do this, we’re told. Don’t go there.
But there’s an important part of disease prevention that isn’t being discussed enough: maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise, nutrition, and other pro-active, empowering acts of responsibility and self-care.
Positive Steps to Take
Make no mistake about it: regular exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, hydration, and managing stress all play a crucial role in protecting against infection and other health problems. They keep our immune systems strong, our blood pressure in check, our joints and muscles functional, and our respiratory system operating right.
We are told too often that being “healthy” means getting over an illness. But it also means staying strong, not getting sick, and maintaining a quality of life that keeps you independent and fully functioning.
What’s dangerous even during non-pandemic times: obesity, fast food, slothfulness, sitting too much, not moving enough, avoiding emotions, alcohol and drug abuse, etc.
We want to avoid those problems just like we want to avoid Covid-19.
Gyms and fitness studios play a crucial role in keeping us safe
Gyms and fitness studios play a crucial role in keeping us safe from disease. Since reopening after quarantine, we have established procedures to keep members safe.
We also have made virtual and online training a viable option, and many of you have responded enthusiastically. If you have questions about our safety and cleanliness standards, please let us know. We’re happy and proud to show you all we’ve done.
And if you’re still not comfortable, that’s OK, too. Just be sure to get your exercise in other ways, eat well, sleep enough, drink plenty of water, and talk through your stress. Feel free to send over questions or download our Free Guide for Perfect workouts at home =>
