Social Distancing And Exercise: Complete Virtual Races Safely At Home

April 20, 2020 by Dawn McAlexander

social distancing and exercise

With mitigation efforts and gym closures, it can be tricky to practice social distancing and exercise. I haven't been out of my home very many times since the pandemic started, but when I have, I could see that our local walking trails were crammed full of people - not social distancing. I am trying my best to follow the guidelines set forth by the CDC and Dr Fauci and Dr Birx, … [Read more...] about Social Distancing And Exercise: Complete Virtual Races Safely At Home

To Write Love On Her Arms To Host 7th Annual Run For It 5K April 13th

Mental illness is something that has touched everyone's life in some way. I know that, for me personally, depression is something I have struggled with throughout my life, particularly in my teens. Ironically, it took a heart attack to get me to reassess and find a way to be truly happy in my life. Everyone finds joy in their own way. TWLOHA helps those struggling with mental … [Read more...] about To Write Love On Her Arms To Host 7th Annual Run For It 5K April 13th

Help Me! I Am In An Exercise Rut!

Ok, so I was really busting my butt in the gym. For like 5 or 6 months after my open heart surgery, I was in the gym. A lot. First I started with cardiac rehabilitation, then I added in a gym membership, and eventually I had gotten to where I was working out 6 or 7 days a week. I lost a lot of weight and I could really start to tell a difference in my body's shape and muscle … [Read more...] about Help Me! I Am In An Exercise Rut!

Have You Already Ditched Your New Year's Resolutions?

Be honest. How many of you have already ditched your New Year's Resolutions? Last year I made a resolution to end the year in better shape than I started - and I did that. I am still not to my goal weight but I am way closer to being at my goal weight than I am to being at my heaviest weight. I definitely consider that a win. I am hoping that this year I meet my goal weight. … [Read more...] about Have You Already Ditched Your New Year’s Resolutions?

Compete In Virtual Races At Any Fitness Level

As you guys know in my post from yesterday, I just completed Cardiac Rehab a few days ago. Though I was fortunate enough to be able to do both the treadmill and the recumbent bikes, not everyone in my class had that same ability. There were several people in my class who could only use the bikes for a variety of reasons. One of the ladies told me that she could not walk on the … [Read more...] about Compete In Virtual Races At Any Fitness Level
