Covid19 has been around since quite some time now, and while things are gradually getting back to normal (one step at a time), people are also trying their best to adjust the ‘new normal’. It is now clear that normal life activities would not fully resume anytime soon, and we need to adjust routines accordingly.

One of the most challenging tasks, indeed, is to stay active indoors. Somehow, the idea of physical activities is linked to gym and outdoor activities- thus making it tough to come up with indoor activities. Below are a few tips to make sure you remain physically active while staying safe indoors:

Start with small active breaks

While it might sound too easy, it is indeed the ideal way to kick-start your active routine. These breaks could include house chores, dancing, playing with kids or just walking around the house- to make sure that you stay active.

Take online workout class

Make use of the hundreds of online workout classes offered online, and start your workout routine. Select the time and exercise that suits you best, and you are good to go.

Interrupt your sedentary time with standing-up and walking 

Make sure not the prolong your sedentary time for more than 30 minutes. Take a break, stand-up and take a little walk around the house. If you are on call, try talking as you walk, instead of just sitting and speaking.

Relax

Look for meditation activities and start practicing them. Some simple breathing exercise go a long way in keeping you calm and relax.

Eat healthy and stay hydrated

Go for the healthier options and increase your water intake for a better and healthier lifestyle. WHO recommends drinking water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages- hence limit the alcoholic beverages and frizzy drinks. In addition, take plenty of fruits and vegetables, and limit the intake of salt, sugar and fat
