For the sake of my mental health I have GOT to get some sort of physical routine going, but it was 12 degrees today so there is no way I’m running in that weather. Should I pick up some sort of at-home workout routine? Go to a gym during off peak hours when it’s empty? Want something I can gently ease into; I’ve been an absolute sloth the last few months.

I personally like workouts found on YouTube. I search for 15-30 min workouts depending on how much time/energy I have. I especially enjoy intense dancing and yoga.

I do a workout with a group of guys every morning - outside - all year long. I’m I Chicagoland and the coldest I ever worked out in was -17 (worse with wind chills). It’s is absolutely crazy to do, but it is a fun crazy.

I participate anywhere from 2-5 times a week. The warm shower you take at home after 45 minutes working out in the cold is the best feeling in the world.

My advice, find someone to workout with. Doesn’t feel as nuts when your not alone.

(My use of “crazy” above is not meant to offend.)

It’s not perfect, but I do equipment-free exercises at home (squats, lunges, planks) on days when it’s this cold. It’s easy enough to do while watching TV, too.

Water rower at home has been my everything. Can integrate it into other workouts, as you build up stamina (rowing five minutes, then 15 and so on).

Apple fitness has saved my life during these winters.

I signed up for Asana Rebel. It’s cheap and the workouts are good and quick.

I go to the gym daily because my body requires switching up activities (due to injuries). I do intervals on different equipment, with basics (like pushups) mixed in. The mask makes it tough to breathe at times, so I’ve popped into empty “classrooms” to do an unmasked interval. Yes, off-hours really helps.

Healthcare corporations… please note you have more then 1 shift of workers. You have 3 most times, each shift has to be treated equally. This is and always have been an issue, and you cannot figure out why the other shifts refuse to be active and participate in anything and definitely not engaged anymore.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear.

If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
