Ways To Stay Active While Social Distancing

March 24, 2020 · In: Fitness, Lifestyle

Not gonna lie, I was extremely disappointed when our gym closed due to covid-19. I completely understand the reasoning behind it, but I was instantly worried for my health and fitness routine! As someone who works out at least 5 days a week, being a couch potato during all of this just isn’t an option. It would not only affect my physical health, but my mental health as well.

I rounded up some of my favorite ways to stay active while still social distancing! I’m not gonna lie, the past few days my creativity has sparked while working out and my workouts are better than ever. So I hope you find some of these tips helpful & motivational!

Get Outside

This may be easier for some people than others. It depends on the neighborhood you live in, as well as region of the country if now is a good time to go out! But if you can, I encourage it. Whether you take a walk, a run, a jog, or even a bike ride (I also saw grown adults rollerblading and skateboarding in our apartment complex) – get outside! We’ve been taking walks daily and setting up some challenges for ourselves along the way; walking lunges, squat jumps, side shuffles, etc. After just one day of doing some lunges the booty is burning!

Turn To Social Media

I cannot explain to you how amazing of a tool social media can be for workouts! Whether it’s Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube – use those tools to your advantage. My blogger friend StyleHerStrong is a certified personal trainer and has shared some KILLER workouts on her IGTV – I highly recommend her ab workout. Back when I was in high school I absolutely loved doing Blogilates – Cassey Ho’s – workouts on YouTube. She has workouts of all kinds and all fitness levels – FOR FREE – on her channel.

Use What You’ve Got At Home

Remember those resistance bands and weights you bought a few new years ago? Time to get them out! Most of us probably have some form of exercise equipment in our home – whether we realize/remember it or not. Remember that Just Dance 2015 game for the Wii? Or the classic, Wii Fit? Now is a great time to get those out and break a sweat!

Access Free Resources

Now more than ever, our country is coming together to help one another. So many companies have released free resources for all of us to utilize during this time. Planet Fitness has free workouts on Facebook every evening – and you can playback previous day’s workouts. Peloton has a 90-day free trial on their app – which has more than just bike and treadmill workouts. There are so many free offers out there at this time – utilize them!

I hope those tips were helpful for y’all, and maybe I shared some new information! Be sure to stay safe and healthy!

Cheers!

xoxo
Jayme

The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
