As someone who gets 75% of her sanity from regular exercise, when I found out I was pregnant last February, I suddenly started thinking twice about lacing up my running sneakers.
If you told me four months ago when quarantine first started that I wouldn't be itching to get back to the gym or a group fitness class, I would've told you that you don't know me at all.
I guess it took a global pandemic for me to finally realize that working out does indeed help your mood, energy level and overall mental well-being like those fitness influencers are always preaching.
It’s finally come to the point where we can all agree it’s time to switch out of the tie-dye sweatshirt that we haven’t taken off all of quarantine (busted) and into the go-to workout outfit that might actually inspire movement, specifically, movement off the couch.
Much like when the gym gets super crowded in January due to the assholes I affectionately refer to as "Resolutioners", people are suddenly gaining a newfound interest in fitness in this quarantine.
Let me just start by saying that fitness is not my middle name, but I went on a run yesterday, so as per the rules of Instagram, I’m now a fitness influencer.
