Tips for Staying Healthy and Fit During COVID-19

by admin Leave a Comment

Self-isolation and quarantine measures can make you feel lonely and out of touch with the world. Even though you may not be able to go to the gym or fitness studio right now, it doesn’t mean you have to let these healthy routines slide. There are many ways to stay motivated at home so you can keep up your health and fitness goals.

Being stuck inside can also wreak havoc on your diet, especially if you’re a little out of practice with cooking every meal at home. That pantry full of boxed and canned foods might not bring that much inspiration, but there are plenty of ways to cook amazing meals at home with things you have on hand. The following resources can give you a helping hand.

Why You Should Take Time to Pursue a Hobby That Benefits Your Mental Health

In today’s fast-paced world, it is more important than ever to slow things down. Having a hobby is an excellent way to spend time on yourself. When choosing a hobby, make sure you pick an activity you enjoy. This is about you finding a way to learn something new, relax and unwind from life’s daily stressors. With LBX Fitness‘s suggested tips, websites, and apps listed below, you’ll find the hobby that suits you best.

The Benefits of Having a Hobby

A good hobby is one you do for yourself. It is a tool for you to unwind and a way to cope with stress, according to Psychology Today. Finding a hobby like this has many mental health benefits and can also be a great way to form new social connections, especially if you’re in recovery.

Having a creative hobby, which is often used in conjunction with art therapy, can help provide you with structure and allow you to regain a sense of control in your life. Training yourself to turn toward your hobby as stress relief or using it to find a sense of purpose and meaning can help reduce the risk of relapsing.

Mastering an Instrument

Learning a new instrument takes time and patience, but it can be an excellent way to keep the mind sharp and relieve stress. And when you finally master that song you’ve been practicing for weeks, you’re hit with a confidence boost and sense of accomplishment. For many, music takes on a form of self-expression. It is a way to express what they may not be able to put into words.

If you want to learn an instrument but you don’t want to shell out money for private lessons, you can easily download some helpful apps to set you on the right path. And as JoyTunes points out, there are many online tutorials that can also help you get started.

Take Up Sewing

Do not shy away from hobbies that can double as a way to save money. Clothes are expensive, especially if you’re into fashion. Spending your hard-earned cash on designer clothes can quickly break the bank. This is why learning to sew can be hugely beneficial. Not only is it cost-effective but you can design and show off your own clothes!

Remember, it will take a lot of practice before you get good. Start by taking an introductory class and simple projects and build your skills from there. Additionally, there are many helpful sewing apps that can help you find your footing with this creative hobby.

Learn to Cook

Few things are as satisfying as cooking and serving a delicious meal you made yourself. On top of that, The Chicago Tribune mentions that cooking your own meals is a great way to stay healthy and make you happier. By learning to cook, picking up new recipes and shopping for food, you can avoid processed and unhealthy foods. Cooking is also a great place to experiment and really perfect a recipe on your own!

Break Out the Sketchbook

Many people find drawing incredibly soothing but become frustrated when the image in their head does not appear on the page. That’s okay, some hobbies take a while before you see any progress, but don’t give up. The internet is filled with resources to help all skill levels to improve their craft. From step by step tutorials to YouTube videos to basic techniques, the internet can be your greatest ally.

Launching Your New Career in IT

Perhaps you love to dabble in information technology and want to take it a step further? If timing is right to begin pursuing a new career in IT, the first step along that journey is selecting an IT degree program to learn the skills needed for this challenging, rewarding and lucrative field. If studying full-time isn’t an option, WGU’s programs offer flexibility for you to set your own pace while still preparing you to enter the field as soon as you’re ready to get started. Not only will the degree program help you land a job, it’ll prepare you for success.

Finding a Hobby

Remember, whatever hobby you choose should be one that brings you joy. Do not hesitate to try out several different things. The right hobby is out there for you.

LBX Fitness advocates for women’s health by providing virtual fitness instruction. Consider taking our yoga class, booking a one-on-one session, or taking the 30 Day Fitness Challenge.

14 Innovative Resources for Reducing Stress (Together)

by admin Leave a Comment

together

 

Marriage can be hard work, especially as your relationship evolves and changes. Even the best partnerships can experience stress. The key is finding ways to relieve stress together rather than letting small problems boil over into bigger issues. In addition to working out together through LBX Fitness, couples can find other ways to dissolve stress as a couple.

Boost Your Awareness

Knowing where and how stress is affecting your life makes it easier to tackle it. Remaining aware can help you avoid letting small problems grow.

  • Acknowledge the environmental context of stress – instead of blaming one another.
  • Recognize the signs that stress is affecting your marriage.
  • Know how to comfort your partner if they’re the one experiencing pressure.
  • Form a united front against stress – “we” instead of “me.”

Change Your Mindset

Adjusting your perspective on marital stress can help minimize or even eliminate stressors. Tailor your approach to tackle the issues that are disrupting the peace.

  • Agree on a solid financial plan to cut back on money-related tension.
  • Enforce work-life boundaries to keep your personal life separate from professional pursuits.
  • Skip overscheduling your life and make time to do nothing, together.
  • Develop strategies for dealing with the strain of parenthood.

Do More, Together

From starting a fitness challenge to relaxing at home, doing things together is one way to reduce stress and reinforce your relationship. Plus you can stretch your dollars with some savvy spending, so you don’t add fresh financial strain to your situation.

  • Try the LBX Fitness 30-day challenge
  • Learn relaxation-inducing couples yoga to strengthen your bond.
  • Solidify your practice by investing in essentials for your yoga sessions together.
  • Save on workout gear or athletic wear with a Target or Old Navy promo code.
  • Cook together to ease anxiety while making something delicious.
  • Look to “ugly” produce subscriptions to cut grocery costs.

Though it’s not always easy to maintain marital bliss while experiencing life’s pitfalls, taking action is the best way to approach stress. By acknowledging the challenges, adapting your mindset, and engaging in rewarding activities – together – you and your partner can evolve your relationship despite the stress of daily living.
