So you wanna know how you can stay healthy and active during lockdown? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Exercise

Physical wellbeing is an important part of our lives – something which most of us tend to overlook. Probably because of the misconception surrounding the word exercise. The word exercise doesn’t always mean going to the gym and lifting heavy weights. It’s about keeping your body fit and moving. You don’t need weights for that. Jump, stretch, run, or dance. Just get your body moving. And if you can, try working out. You don’t need weights. You’ll find plenty of different body workouts that require no weights at all .

Proper Sleep Schedule

Almost all of us have disrupted our sleep schedule because of the lockdown. We sleep really late in the night and wake up late in the morning. A bad habit we’re forcing ourselves into. A proper sleep is very important for a healthy body and a healthy mind. It is during our sleep that our body and mind recovers itself. Without a proper sleeping schedule, your body and your mind will not receive the required rest that it needs. So create a sleep schedule and adhere to it with discipline.

Yoga

I’m sure you know just how wide-spread Yoga is in the modern world. For thousands of years, people have turned to yoga to easy their mind and their body. Yoga is more than just ways of stretching your body, it’s an art and you are the artist. It’s a practice of the body and the mind.

Maintaining a proper balanced diet is just as important as exercising. Afterall, your diet is your primary source of energy. So it’s crucial to be wary about just what you put into your body. Especially in the long term, the diet that you follow today is a road map for your health in the future.

Reading

Yet another activity for your mind – Reading. When was the last time we actually opened up a book to read? Seems like a long time right? Well, that needs to change.
