How to stay fit during lockdown

The pandemic and resulting lockdown have taken a toll on everyone’s health– both mental and physical. While the light at the end of the tunnel seems to be nearing, it’s important to keep your fitness in check. Here are some tips to follow to help this process (read further below the image):

Healthy eating

It’s tempting to order-in every day, we know. Being at home however provides you with the unique opportunity to utilize your time to harness new skills and improve upon the ones you already have, such as cooking. Experiment with new styles of cooking and try out new cuisines.

A healthy diet can do wonders in reducing ailments and diseases. Planning your meals in advance takes away the stress of deciding what to cook for every meal. 

Snack responsibly. Binge-eating junk food while watching Netflix can be a slippery slope. Switch out junk food with fruits, biscuits or nuts.

Take your supplements on time. It’s important to ensure that you receive all the right nutrients, both from your diet as well as otherwise. If you follow a plant-based diet, supplements such as Omega-3 will help optimize your body functions. You can purchase fish-free, 100% plant-based Omega-3 supplements from Testa.   

Working out

While the unparalleled gym experience is duly missed, there is an abundance of workout routines now available that can be done from home using minimum equipment. Celebrities and internet personalities have taken over the mantle to provide people with home exercises, live workout sessions, online classes and more. 

Engage in Yoga, Zumba, Pilates and other exercises from the comfort of your own home through classes and sessions conducted by experts.

Maintaining a proper sleep cycle

Eating healthy and exercising regularly are wasted if your body does not receive its required rest. A good nights’ rest, amounting to at least six to nine hours of sleep, works wonders in rejuvenating your body. 

A well-rested body is better equipped to carry out day-to-day functions effectively. 

Mental fitness

Unexpected challenges have been thrown everyone’s way. Taking care of your mental health is critical, now more than ever. Curate a daily routine where you allocate time in the day for specific tasks. 

Working out is as important to your mental health as it is to your physical health. Keep in touch with your loved ones for comfort and reduce your screen time. While it’s important to stay current, limit consumption of news if it makes you feel anxious. Taking some time out in a day to meditate can prove to be beneficial as well. 

An erratic sleep cycle also can have undesirable effects on your psychological and emotional health, which provides all the more reason to maintain a proper sleep schedule
