Here’s what I have seen throughout being in and out of lockdown from speaking to REAL people I train daily. Inactivity and lack of actually seeing people causes DESPAIR in many people’s lives which is absolutely terrible for your immune system just when you needed it to be strong, and the lack of exercise can cause serious pain in their bodies especially as weight gain inevitably comes, bringing on a whole host of unwanted side effects ON TOP of everything else.I hear these stories first hand DAILY.On the slip side, I then hear and see many of those same people starting to exercise again, eat better, and get some fresh air daily. They see more people and the social interaction on top of the exercise, and all of this is like a MIRACLE drug for them. They tend to get more optimistic about life again and all the doom and gloom starts to disappear as they use exercise as the ultimate anxiety, stress and pain buster again. It may be hard at first, but they slowly and surely re-discover themselves.The positive UPSIDE is overwhelming and often takes me aback at the inspirational progress, frowns and sadness have turned into smiles and laughter, and I know of so many of their family remarking that they have their “old and real” mother/grandmother/son back again, all due to their adoption of positive, healthy habits once again.I find it amazing the most positive natural thing you can do right now is exercise , eat well and get some fresh air time in nature is not being hammered home daily, not only to make you feel so much better, but it has been proven scientifically to BOOST your immune system which is the most important protection we have to fight off any illness or disease that threatens to overcome us.Stay strong, stay in motion daily and it all can start with a daily walk to get you going, write down how you feel before your walk, then write down how much better you feel afterwards. Exercise is very powerful medicine for your body AND your brain, make it count and don’t waste another moment feeling so low, no matter how deep the rut is you are in, when there truly is another natural way that gets you out of it.
