The coronavirus pandemic is disrupting every aspect of life including exercise routines. You know the adage Healthy Mind, Healthy Body. Now, it is even more important to maintain health, to keep your weight in check, support mental health through stress reduction and improve your quality of sleep. Maintaining regular exercise results in several benefits:
- Exercise helps free up your mind. Something as simple as going outside and taking a walk, where you stay at least 6 feet away from others, can be a great, safe way to stay healthy. (The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings.) If your schedule allows, try to exercise early in the morning. Even if you just work out on the treadmill for 15 minutes in the morning, you will feel rejuvenated. This gives you time to think, to plan out your day, which is very important.
- These times may have you drinking more alcohol. Consider doing some moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; it has been shown to help reduce the use of alcohol and other substances.
- Another very important benefit of regular exercise is that it helps keep diseases at bay. While the blood is pumping throughout the body, you are also rejuvenating your immune system—physical activity releases endorphins, chemicals in your brain, which revitalize your mind and body. You not only are healthier in body but also in mind—helping you to think better.
These are just three of the many benefits that regular exercise provides. Invest a small portion of your time to exercise—especially during these unprecedented times, you cannot afford to downplay its importance in your life.
