April

It’s amazing to see how everyone’s lives have changed from the beginning of March until now. Just over a month we have seen a statewide quarantine take place in Washington as well as the president stating a national quarantine that will last until April 30th and the minimum.

Working and staying at home has become the norm. Luckily with WWU’s campus being on spring break and implementing online classes for all of Spring quarter we are able to run through campus while keeping a 6 foot distance between the few people who are up here.

With this being said, I have been very motivated to keep up a healthy routine and make sure to workout as often as I can. Throughout March this consisted of a mix of at-home workouts as well as running.

Looking back at my February post, I really wanted to focus on going places I am going to miss about Bellingham. Sadly this did not happen with the quarantine being in place and all nonessential businesses being closed.

Although March didn’t go as planned, between having graduated college, working only 30 hours a week, and being in quarantine, I have a lot more free time to spend time working out and hitting muscle groups I tend to forget about.

Some of the goals I have for April are:

• Eat healthy- I’ve been snacking more often while working from home. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I do want to be mindful of the snacks I am eating.
• Continue finding new YouTube videos to focus on specific muscle groups to tone.
• Run when I can/ the quarantine still allows us to go outside to exercise.

I’m excited to see the results I can accomplish with the month of April in quarantine.
