Most people start an exercise routine for weight loss, but there are many other benefits.  Try to look at exercise as a gift to yourself and weight loss being a nice side effect.  It will take the pressure off and make it more fun, and more fun means you are more likely to do it and stick with it.

If you are focused on weight loss, remember all the other reasons exercise is beneficial, this will help you stick to your goals.  Exercise relieves stress, lowers the risk of chronic diseases and also provides some much needed “me time”. 
Keep it simple and make it fun.  Be sure to wear good socks and shoes and make an appointment with yourself.  Put it in your calendar.  Do it first thing in the morning, on your lunch break or even after dinner.  It can be as simple as going on a walk or doing some yoga.  If you’re walking or running, consider listening to your favorite music or an audiobook.  You can even call a friend to catch up!  Other ideas include  the tons of videos and classes on YouTube or Zoom for everything from dancing to kickboxing.  Aim for 3x a week, but for the first month, just aim to make it a habit.  Comment below with your favorite form of exercise!

Actually I’m going to give you more than one because I love to over-deliver for you all.  I’m giving these tips not because of Covid-19 but because we can all benefit from making sure our immune system is working optimally.  Regular colds, flus and other pathogens are always out there, do what you can to keep your body’s defense system in tip top shape.  This doesn’t have to be complicated, try these simple things:

Adequate sleep.  For most people this is 7-9 hours a night.  To get good sleep shut off your phone and news sources 2 hours before your bedtime and make sure your room is cool and dark.
Regular exercise. Aim for at least 30 minutes 3 times per week.  Work up a sweat.
Supplements: fish oil, vitamin D, vitamin C all help to boost the immune system. In my house we do an extra dose at the first sign of any sniffles.  
Super foods: live, probiotic and fermented foods like sauerkraut. Avoid sugary yogurt.

What difference does this make for you? Please comment below because I would love to know.
