SIMPLE WAYS TO STAY HEALTHY IN 2022

After 2020 and 2021, it’s safe to say that these days, staying healthy looks a bit different than it used to. These following tips can be implemented today and can help protect your body from illness and your mind from stress and unrest.

Go On Daily Walks
Many of us have been cooped up inside our homes for almost a year. One way to combat the negative effects of being stuck at home most of the time is to get out for a walk every day that the weather permits. Weather not so good? Check out the indoor walking track at Fountain View Recreation Center!

Take Virtual Fitness Classes
Stay-at-home orders or a personal choice to social distance may have kept you from working out at the gym in recent months, but that doesn’t mean you can’t work out. And, you don’t have to go it alone either. Fountain View Fitness currently offers its members a virtual fitness class option!

Set A Sleep Schedule
Sleep should also be a priority and can have a major impact on both physical and mental health. Try deciding on a reasonable bedtime and wake-up time for yourself and stick to it as often as possible. Put away the work, turn off the television, put your phone in another room and go to sleep.


Do Strength Training
Even light strength training like some forms of yoga and Pilates can result in some major physical benefits. When you work to strengthen your muscles, those muscles will be better able to protect you from injury from slips and falls, will improve your balance and can help strengthen your bones.

Find A New Hobby
Boredom can affect mood and mental health tremendously, and many people have found themselves feeling a bit withdrawn due to a lack of stimulation and socializing.

Maybe in the past, you participated in an in-person book club or a knitting circle, and now you aren’t doing those things and you’ve suddenly found yourself in need of something to fill your days. Well, maybe it’s time to find a new hobby … something you can do on your own or virtually with others. Perhaps sign up for virtual painting or cooking classes, start birdwatching or find a few podcasts to listen to.
