Staying Active and Healthy At Home

2020 has definitely been a year filled with challenges so far. Since we are still practicing social distancing during this pandemic, it can make it hard to stay as active as you were when you were able to go out more and go to the gym. I think one of the most important things that can help you maintain a sense of normality and calm is to plan a routine and stick with it! I found myself staring into the fridge several times a day in search of a snack. I think it so easy to form bad snacking habits when you have more down time on your hands- not to mention I am currently snacking for two! Since I have baby four in my belly, it is super important to me to stay active and healthy during this extra time I have at home. I have listed some of the things I have added into my daily routine that have helped me get in some extra steps and maintain a healthy diet. Hopefully some of these things will help you if you have found yourself struggling like I was at first!

 

 

At Home Workouts

There are so many ways you can access workouts out from home that use minimal or no equipment. Pinterest is filled with different toning exercises, Youtube has every workout imaginable and there are a ton of apps! Take some time to research what exercise will fit your needs and looks like something that will keep your attention.

Food Prep

If you have an extra few minutes throughout the week, try to prep snacks and meals. I know I will usually make a healthier choice if I can reach into the fridge and grab fruit or veggies that have already been washed and chopped up. I also find it less stressful at dinner time if I have planned out what I am going to be making for my family for the week. As an extra bonus, meal prepping can also help you save money on your grocery bill because you are more likely to make a list when you shop and stick to it!

Go On A Walk

If you are getting cabin fever, throw on some shoes and get outside for a bit. Even if you aren’t power walking, you are still getting your body up and moving. Fresh air always makes me feel better, too!

Log Your Food

There are a lot of different apps that let you log your food intake throughout the day. If you prefer not using a smartphone to log, keep a journal. It can help you track how many calories you are taking in each day and help you make mindful choices when figuring out what you want to eat. I always feel like I have more success losing weight or maintaining my weight when I am logging my food.

Walk While You Talk

If you are chatting on the phone with someone, try walking around the house while you are talking. You might feel silly at first doing laps in your family room, but you will most likely forget what you are doing once the conversation takes off. I find I am able to get in a ton of extra steps throughout my day when I do this!

Make It A Family Affair

Staying active doesn’t have to be boring. If you’re not feeling into another cardio workout in front of your tv, spruce it up a bit. Grab your family members and plan a fun activity that will get you moving. It could be going on a hike, having a dance off or jumping rope. Any moving around is good for you, so you might as well make it fun!

Accountability

I have always found having a workout buddy can help you keep yourself accountable. Find a friend that also wants to stay active and healthy. Check in with one another during the week and share what things are working for you. Sharing tips and tricks, listening and checking in often can keep you on the right track!

Protecting Yourself From the Sun

Summer time is here and so is the HEAT! My family loves to spend our down time outside no matter what the season is. Unfortunately, with summer comes the strong sun that your skin should stay protected from. Now that I am in my 30’s, I no longer lay outside covered in baby oil chasing that beautiful sun kissed tan. The sun is not only harmful because of health risks it can cause, but it can also speed up the aging process on your skin. I don’t want to do anything that causes harm or ages me, so I’ll continue to invest my money in sunless tanning products when I want to rock a summer time glow. I think more then ever families are trying to stay busy outdoors and helps pass all of the extra free time that some people are experiencing.I have put together a list of some of my favorite sun blocks, and gear that will help your family get the protection they need this summer. Stay safe friends!

 

 

Sunblock

Kids Oil Free Water Resistant

I have always been a fan of Neutrogena products. This two pack of sunscreen for kids is perfect for days that they will be in and out of the water.

Tropic Silk Hydration

I love this super lightweight sunblock spray for myself. The texture is lightweight and it smells delicious. It also adds  hydration to the skin while giving a radiant glow!

Neutrogena Sports Face

My husband is a big fan of this Neutrogena sunblock that is made specifically for your face. It is oil free, has a spa of 70 and works well on sensitive skin.

Hats

Wide Brim Sun Hat

I love this wide brimmed hat from Old Navy. The tan color will go with anything you have on and it has a sweat band on the inside to help you on hot days. It is currently on sale for only $20!

Men Sun Hat

This is a perfect hat for the man in your life to stay covered up when doing anything outdoors. It blocks 98% of sun rays, has mesh vents for cooling airflow and is under $19!

Unisex Baseball Cap

If you aren’t a fan of outdoor sun hats, try wearing a baseball hat to keep some of the sun off your face. This one is unisex, comes in three different colors, and cools when it is wet!

Lip Balm

Sport Sunscreen Lip Balm

Lip balm is also very important when outdoors in the sun since your lips can burn which is really painful. This is a great deal for a two pack from Target.

Banana Boat Ultra Sport Lip Balm

This lip balm not only protects from the sun, but it also helps keep your lips moisturized. In addition, it is water proof for up to 80 minutes!

Sun Bum Lip Balm

Sun bum lip balms include aloe, along with a delicious scent! It goes on smooth and is super hydrating when wearing it!
