EXERCISE & GET FIT @ HOME: ONLINE RESOURCES!!

I hope summer life is bringing you smiles, laughter, fun and connection with those you love and care for!


So most of the gyms are temporarily closed. That’s the bad news. Quite the bummer if you love and miss your gym! I know I do. I really enjoy the group exercise classes, the community, the positive energy, the good vibes, the music, the air conditioning, the smiles, the sense of humor from the instructors and of course the plethora of physical and emotional health benefits!


The good news: You can still get fit, healthy and strong at home or in your neighborhood without relying on brick and mortar gyms. Many of you are already conditioning your bodies and brains to practice consistent exercise. And some of you have successfully made the switch or were already doing that pre pandemic. Great job if that’s you! 🙂 We know exercise is essential, right? And it’s certainly not just for weight loss or muscle strength.


Here’s a positive reminder run down list of all the therapeutic advantages of cardiovascular and muscle strengthening exercise:


  1. Stronger muscles = increased metabolism = increased fat burning
  2. Higher energy levels (ATP production) sustained throughout the day
  3. Relieves (or eliminates) stress, anxiety, depression
  4. Deeper sleep for repair, recovery and rejuvenation
  5. Defensive immune system (increased immune cell production)
  6. Muscle strength = Less likely to get injuries from simple activities
  7. Regular digestion = greater comfort = flatter tummy
  8. Sharper clarity, cognitive function, focus, memory support
  9. Moderation or lessening of excess cortisol
  10. Reduced glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure
  11. Better functioning liver for healthier looking skin
  12. Improved oxygen flow and breathing within sinuses and lungs
  13. Less inflammation = less pain = happy human
  14. Increased hormones: Testosterone = better libido
  15. Decreases Estrogen dominance = less heavier bleeding, cramping, headaches
  16. Reduced or more manageable PMS symptoms
  17. Increased thyroid hormones: thyroid = metabolism = fat burning
  18. Balanced endocrine system = less hormone deficiency/excess symptoms
  19. Increased Neurotransmitters: Endorphins, Serotonin, Dopamine, Norepinephrine – elevated mood, yet calm afterwards
  20. Enhanced self confidence and optimistic mood
  21. And so much more!
