Challenge yourself to a new fitness plan! Just because gyms closed is No excuse to stop working on your health and well-being. As you wake up, stretch in bed and you'll yourself up to a sit up. Place one hand behind your head and pulse to the opposite side. Switch hands and pulse up and back seven-10 times. As you rise up, press your heels into the earth, and stretch your arms up to the sky; be able to balance and not tip forward. This is very important as we age so that equilibrium is the focus and we don't fall.

Use books or containers in place of weights. You can do reps for your biceps and triceps at home by curling your arms and raising books overhead for pull downs. Do not use anything too big or heavy. If you walk and like nature like me, you can find two equally sized rocks or branches and lift them as you walk. By adding new muscle groups you will see the change in a week or two. A few yoga poses near a tree or wall for support can make you feel at peace and strong. Stay mindful and be in the moment as well as grateful. Have fun!
