II don’t know about you but the results of being home all day during social distancing and stay-at-home are starting to show.

Mostly on my hips.

I know I’m not the only one. IG is teeming with #quarantine15 and #corona15 pics.

And that’s because indulging in comfort food is easy.

Our world has been turned upside down and we are reeling. And dealing with these events has been downright scary. Nothing else seems as important.

But doesn’t it make sense to use this time doing something good for our bodies, too — like working out?

As gyms and fitness studios remain closed or slowly reopen with only a fraction of their clientele permitted due to social distancing 16% more adults in the United States have looked online to supplement their fitness routines.

In a time where it feels like most normal things are now spiraling out of your control — tried buying toilet paper lately? — it makes sense to take hold of what you can control and what will not only make you feel better now but will positively impact your future: exercise.
