Being quarantined does not have to mean we completely stop trying to reach our fitness and wellness goals. There are plenty of at-home workouts to do that require little to no equipment– see post here. But there are some workouts where you do not get the full benefits without equipment. Currently, all I have is a set of 5lbs weights, a yoga mat, foam rollers, and a Theraband. When we were first quarantined I decided to purchase more equipment to use like 10lb weights, 3lb weights, and a booty band. I still want to get ankle and wrist weights. Although I am still working out almost daily, I do find it even more challenging to motivate myself. And I am someone who loves to exercise. It’s much easier to skip or put off a workout when there is another episode to watch and I am not losing money by skipping it. Still, my makeshift gym in my small studio apartment has been the stress reliever I need right now. And it does feel amazing to move and sweat. Getting new equipment will help motivate me even more to workout; it’s like buying a new dress that you can not wait to wear or a new gadget you can’t wait to play with. When a new hand weight or resistance band shows up in the mail, I immediately want to press play on a quick workout and try it. If you are like me and you need to move, and hopefully you are all finding ways to move your body, creating an at-home gym is the best thing you can do for not only your body but for your mental health as well.
