I just read a Popsugar article that completely changed my perspective about fitness during quarantine.

Let me start with saying that as both a health and a fitness professional, I strive to keep people healthy – both mentally AND physically.

It’s ingrained in me to provide advice and education wherever I can.

Now that I have a fitness blog, I’m able to share my thoughts on the latest trends and give advice about current events. Anyone with any business sense will tell you to pay close attention to what your audience needs and tailor your content towards that.

So as the “Virus-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named” made its way into our media, our countries, and our lives, I did what any business-savvy, fitness-promoting person would do: I focused on providing home workouts and encouraging people to keep working towards their fitness goals. I gave out those expected quarantine fitness tips.

Now I see how unwise that was.

Ready for a beginner workout at home without equipment?!

Working out at home comes with lots of barriers. Most workouts require at least one piece of equipment, which many of us don’t have access to at home.

And if not equipment, then maybe it requires some type of jumping to ramp up the intensity – a luxury that those of us with joint problems or downstairs neighbors just can’t afford.

When most of us think of spring cleaning, we envision going through old clothes and knick knacks. Personally, I imagine emptying my pantry of old baking ingredients and pulling boxes of junk from my closet depths.

Spring cleaning can apply to many different parts of our homes – and many different parts of our lives.

To me, spring cleaning is like coming out of winter hibernation. Over the cold season, we’ve stocked up on stale crackers and plain cans of soup. We’ve nestled into our cozy homes – but let them become so cluttered with things we don’t need in the process. They’re no longer benefiting us as much as they should.

It’s time to step out into the fresh air and sunshine. Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to figure out what’s working for us…and what’s not.
