Hi teacher and classmates, today I’m going to talk about how to exercise more
during COVID 19.
It’s important to know that we must keep our distance to stop the spread of COVID-19 in places where there are many people, but staying active during this time will help us to maintain our physical and mental health in good conditions. Doing regular exercise has many benefits, including: reducing the risk of health conditions like stroke and heart disease, controlling weight, reducing stress and anxiety, improving sleep. So, I’m going to give you some recommendations to be healthy: First, Take short active breaks during the day.You may use the suggested exercises below as inspiration to be active every day. Dancing, playing with children, performing domestic chores such as cleaning and gardening or streching your body for a momento while you are working. Second, Follow an online exercise class. Take advantage of the wealth of online exercise classes. Many of these are free and can be found on YouTube. For example, meditation and deep breaths could be a good option because it can help you remain calm. Try reducing your sedentary time by standing up whenever posible. During sedentary leisure time prioritize cognitively stimulating activities, such as Reading and board games. To conclude, I would like to emphasize that these recommendations can still be achieved even at home, with no special equipment and with limited space. Even 10 minutes of movement a day can help your body and mind feel better. Encourage your loved ones, who you’re no doubt spending a lot of time with right now, to take a moment to move their bodies too.
