We\u2019re here to help you get through this together with some exercise, eating well, and self-care tips.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Take Regular Breaks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Take breaks from continuous sitting in front of your computer, tablet, or smartphone every 20 \u2013 30 minutes. You can take a few minutes to walk around the house, take some fresh air on the balcony, in the garden or yard, or play with your dog for a few moments. There are lots of fun and easy ways to build more activity into your everyday routine.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Set Goals<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Having a commitment or goal, such as doing yoga five days per week or beating your best 5K time, will help you stay on track. Share it with others to keep yourself accountable. If you\u2019re the competitive type, virtual challenge friends, family or coworkers and see who can consistently meet their goals over time.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Smart Shopping<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s not easy shopping for groceries right now, as most aisles are empty or limiting how much you can buy. To avoid overspending and stay healthy, buy in-season produce or find on-sale items. Make a list: You\u2019ll shop smarter, and it\u2019ll keep you from roaming around the store longer than needed.

But you can still eat healthy during this pandemic. Plan your meals in advance to avoid impulsive purchases. This is a great time to track your food to hold you accountable and\u00a0healthy while at home. If you\u2019re hungry, enjoy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More nuts and seeds<\/li>\n<li>A variety of greens<\/li>\n<li>Healthy fats like fish or avocados<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Practice Mindfulness<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Mindfulness is about paying attention to the present moment. Take a break from the news and negativity right now and practice a meditation session to\u00a0clear your mind. It\u2019s also important to get a good night\u2019s rest to keep your immune system healthy. Watch what you eat or drink before bed, and keep moving throughout the day to\u00a0catch some zzz\u2019s.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Ease Yourself Into Fitness<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-60588\" src=\"https:\/\/shutterflywpe.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/ideas.shutterfly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iStock-1136839688-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/>There is no need to push yourself to exercise.

Don\u2019t have time for a full-length outdoor exercise session? Consider breaking your workout up into several 10-minute sessions. You\u2019ll be surprised at how quickly a few brisk walks around the block can add up to a full workout. Even after the lockdown is lifted, consider making a conscious effort to enjoy nature more often.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do What You Love<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/ideas\/fun-things-to-do-at-home\/\">fun activities<\/a> that fit your personality and\u00a0motivate you to stick with them.

Now more than ever, drink plenty of fluids to help keep your body hydrated and to flush out toxins. Take this time to focus on your daily water intake with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterfly.com\/photo-gifts\/photo-water-bottles\">custom water bottles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tackle Calorie-Burning Chores\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Chores such as mowing the lawn, working in the garden, washing the car, or cleaning out the garage provide excellent opportunities to build muscles and burn calories. In addition to the sense of accomplishment, you will feel after your workout, completing a household task will yield even more feel-good benefits.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Let Yourself Process\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Most importantly, set up the routine of allowing yourself to process. That looks different for everyone. Maybe you\u2019re the kind of person that likes to take a bath when things get tough, or maybe you like to cuddle up with your pets. Maybe journaling is your favorite go-to or sitting outside in the sunshine lifts your spirits. Whatever the case, make sure to leave room for your brain to work through these difficult emotions. Pick healthy options, like working out, and avoid negative habits, like binge-eating or sleeping all day.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to take care of yourself, mentally and physically, during these trying times. Don\u2019t beat yourself up if you\u2019re not as productive as you were before the coronavirus hit. Be gentle, patient, and kind, and you\u2019ll get there.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Best-At-Home-Workouts-You-Can-Do-Without-Any-Equipment\"><strong>Best At-Home Workouts You Can Do Without Any Equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Exercise can help keep our immune system strong, less susceptible to infections, and better able to recover from any sickness.

Use the\u00a0stress-releasing\u00a0magic of music and dance at home like nobody\u2019s watching. Dancing is an excellent way to\u00a0protect the heart\u00a0and maintain fitness as it can reach\u00a0moderate and vigorous intensity\u00a0and can even imitate high-intensity interval training. Dancing also has established\u00a0mental health\u00a0benefits to help us cope with the coronavirus-imposed solitude.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Pick Up The Pace<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When walking, running, or cycling, increase your speed from leisurely to brisk or choose a route with more hills or inclines.
