When life gets flipped upside down, it can throw your habits, routines, and priorities into a tailspin! Whether you've found yourself being at home more, or working more than ever - it's incredibly important to move your body. Not only for your cardiovascular health, but for your mental health.
This 30-minute workout is about balance. Some exercises will move you gently. Some will get your heart rate up. But all can give you some much-needed stress relief. Even if it's just to laugh by watching a T-Rex attempt jumping jacks. 🙂

Moving your body doesn't mean you have to go all out, sweating through your shirt, out of breath, and beating on carcasses in a freezer like Rocky. It can mean walking. Even if it's only for 10 minutes. You don't necessarily need to set aside an hour every day to work out.
If you can, that’s great! If you can't, break it up into 10 minute segments.
It's also important to remember to move your body in ways that feel good to you. Don't hurt yourself. And don't force yourself to do something you hate. Remember, this is YOU time! This is for YOUR health! You should ENJOY yourself!
As we all attempt to live our new lives to the best of our ability, hopefully we can pick up some new habits, routines, and priorities that will leave us healthier and stronger than ever. ️ ❤️
