THE POSITIVE

Keeping focus on staying home helps you prioritize everything you need to get done at home.

I tend to like to leave my house, so stuff hardly gets done. Everyone always wants more time to workout and now you can do a morning cardio hike, midday exercises and a run before dinner if you want to.

Having the time will really separate the people who want it or not. Personally, it’s brought my husband and I even closer as he likes to workout at home more than I do, so he is excited now we can’t go anywhere else.

GOAL ADJUSTMENTS

I have spent the last few years loading up my garage with an entire CrossFit box-worth of equipment.

I invested in my family’s health by buying what we would use that would make us feel good and make us want to workout at home.

ADAPTIVE EATING

I have to be consistent or I get useless and cranky. This means my diet has stayed the same. I will say that with more time at home, boredom creates a false sense of hunger so that is hard to avoid all the time.
