Staying Active in the Midst of a Pandemic

February 11, 2021 by Evelyn Parham

Evelyn Parham, MS, EPC

Is staying active in the midst of a pandemic challenging for you? I’ll be the first to answer, yes!

However, I am finally ready to be active, fit, and healthy no matter what’s happening globally.

There is no reason for me to make excuses not to exercise because I have fitness equipment at home, plus I have two legs for walking; no excuses whatsoever.

Today, it’s all about fitness equipment you can use in the comfort of your home.

Buying Fitness Equipment

In 2014, I hired an online personal trainer who recommended specific fitness equipment.

I started buying fitness equipment and fitness books a little at a time.

And to date, I’m still buying new items.  I recently bought a foam roller recommended by Bite-Size Fitness.

2021 is the Year to Get Fit

We are in the second month of 2021, and so far, I am doing well with fitness.

I’m working my way up to being more active every day, and I’m also working with a personal trainer.

Although fitness apps are useful, nothing takes the place of working with a real person who can help you get to where you want to go.

Ultimately, I will be active for a total of 70 minutes a day.  I don’t expect fat/weight loss and building muscle to happen overnight.

Walking is a great way to burn calories, decrease stress hormones, and get clarity.

Consistency, patience, and following through is the answer to getting the results you want to see.

Fitness Equipment that I Own

I started buying fitness equipment in 2014, and I still purchase a few pieces when needed.

Below are home fitness equipment I own:
