Why Is Fitness At Home Important For A Parent During Quarantine by kaleemakhtar: 11:05pm On Mar 21, 2020
Due to the widespread of the global pandemic situation, people are becoming more worried about their jobs, their families and the stability of the economy as a whole.

The common concern is avoiding cabin fever, by staying occupied and learning how to deal with boredom. The best way to stay occupied is keeping physically active, as cabin fever can lead to feelings of mild depression and frustration, affecting our overall motivation.
Thanks to the digital age, there is a large population of people who can still work from home. Professionals who work in the service industry are generally affected the most.

People are stressed because of the uncertain future, unsure of how much change will be coming.
So what makes fitness at home beneficial to a parent in this current situation?
Let us scroll through some of the reasons why you should take an exercise program at home:

Keep Your Social Distancing – As you well know, it is recommended to stay at home rather than go outdoors or to the gym. Visiting the gym will only spread the infection. We breathe and cough more when we work out, and we’re also more tempted to touch our face. By doing so, you are increasing the risk of bringing coronavirus back to your home, where you might be taking care of young children or older dependents.

Less feelings of stress – Despite the situation, your health can be more affected in other ways. With people being temporarily out of employment, there is feelings of anxiety of when we can all get back to work. This stress can be managed by exercise, as we know a good workout routine can help our cardiovascular and mental health.

Smart Budgeting– Budget constraints are always there even if you are living on social welfare benefit. The limit the government can help us over the coming months is still unknown. Putting your gym membership on hold for the time being can help you budget on your fitness as you follow a program from home. This will help you set aside some money for food or other expenses that may come up for a rainy day.

Avoid Anxiety and Depression–The circumstances of this situation give everybody a feeling of uncertainty and can cause a lot of feelings of depression and anxiety. Exercising releases endorphins and will help you fight feelings of depression. The best way to keep fit with a personal trainer right now is at home or online.

Keep Up the Progress – Being a parent is difficult as there are a lot of diverse responsibilities. Keeping up your progress is important for this reason. We don’t want to fall behind on what we already started. Getting back is harder. Make sure to give yourself at least 20 minutes per day.

Train as a couple or family! – Get interactive with the family through fitness, rather than playing video games and other activities that are too sedentary. If its just you and a partner, have your personal trainer design a program for you as a couple.
