Love of the Week
In mid-March, life as we know it came to a screeching halt. Schools were closed, non -essential businesses shut down. Many of us were asked to work from home, homeschool our kids for the first time and social distance from everyone we know and love. These are stressful times.
So how do you release your stress? A significant stress reliever for me is exercise. Exercise lifts my mood and helps me keep a clear head. Running is my anti-depressant of choice for the reasons I just described and many more. If you would like to read more about the mental benefits of exercise, you can do so here.
Perhaps you are not a runner. Or maybe you like the gym and desperately missing it right now. Even though I run, I have to incorporate strength training in my routine to prevent injury. How do I do this? From the comfort of my own home.
Beachbody on Demand (BOD) is a streaming service that provides hundreds of workouts to assist people in achieving their health and fitness goals. BOD can be streamed on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Members can also stream BOD through a TV using Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast, or via the Beachbody On Demand app for iOS and Android. Apple Watch users can stream their workouts on their iPhone or iPad, and Apple Watch will project real-time heart rate and caloric burn on those screens. Take a peek.
This is the perfect alternative to the gym, and I feel I have not skipped a beat in my fitness journey. Also, for those of you looking for help with nutrition, BOD includes easy to follow nutrition plans. Click here to get started. I love my membership, hence why it is my love of the week!

Stress relief is important! I usually think of exercise for cardio health and gaining strength. Some think of it for weight loss. We forget about relieving stress and feeling accomplished. Thanks for sharing!

so glad you found something that keeps you happy! I have a couple friends who worked for beach body and loved it
Abbie | 27th Apr 20
I totally agree! I have used exercise as a stress relief for years.

A lot of great stuff on Beachbody. Big Shaun T fan!
Jaclyn | 27th Apr 20
I have to admit, when I was first confined at home, I was pretty consistent with my workouts. But, once April came around, I really lost all motivation. I really need to get back into it. Thanks for the encouragement!
Tricia Snow | 27th Apr 20
Fortunately, I no longer have much stress in my life. Other than not being able to fit in my clothes from wearing pajamas all day. I wish I was more motivated to work out at home. Or at all for that matter! LOL I will look into these though. I can not waste away! I have trips to go on!

Well, being the owner of a small fitness center. Lol. So glad you found something that works for you. I used to tell my clients, and workout is a great workout when you do it 🙂

I have only been doing well during this quarantine if I get some cardio in – since the weather isn’t cooperating I might have to try a few indoor routines like this!
Lisa Manderino | 27th Apr 20
I love BeachBody on Demand! Such great workouts!
Linda Egeler | 27th Apr 20
I did hear about Beach Body a while back but was happy with my routine at the gym at the time. How things have changed! I will totally check this out.
Candy | 27th Apr 20
I am one of those people desperately missing the gym! This is such a great alternative!
Santana | 27th Apr 20
I had looked into Beach body at one point but never followed through. Maybe now is the time!
Holly | 27th Apr 20
Thank you for sharing this! I am checking Beach Body out right now!
Lori | 27th Apr 20
I love to exercise as well and it is a cheap form of therapy. Thanks for your article
Eva Keller | 27th Apr 20
I’ve been exercising every day while I’ve been at home and it has had so many great benefits. I’ve been doing a 30 day challenge and ending it with yoga daily so it helps pass the time, it makes my body feel good, it makes me feel like I did something productive and it is great for mental health too. I highly recommend it for everyone.
Barbara | 28th Apr 20
YES! Exercise is so important! Just bought a new bike! Trying to keep up with my 16 & 20 year old! UGH!
Alice | 28th Apr 20
Good information!
Charlene | 28th Apr 20
The weather is keeping me indoors more than I’d like. I have a treadmill, but that gets old after a while. I’ll check this out!
Sydney | 28th Apr 20
I’ve been thinking about finding a home workout to do! Thanks for sharing this!
Heather | 29th Apr 20
Your welcome!
Nissa Haight | 28th Apr 20
Working out is definitely my stress reliever and I love Beachbody on Demand!
Heather | 29th Apr 20
Which program do you like?
Kendra | 28th Apr 20
Great program! My middle daughter just started this program too.
Heather | 29th Apr 20
Love it! Let me know if she likes it.
Cathy | 28th Apr 20
I need to exercise more! I sometimes forget that it will help with stress! Thanks for the reminder and great information!
Heather | 29th Apr 20
Your welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Angela | 28th Apr 20
I find that since I am home and not in my work place – I am walking more which is helping a lot.
Heather | 29th Apr 20
Excellent. I am the opposite. In the office, I always walked to a bathroom on the opposite end of the building. Now I don’t have to go far when working from home.
Hillari | 28th Apr 20
I love this! I have thought about using Beachbody on Demand for a while now. I think now seems to be the time!
Heather | 29th Apr 20
Give it a try. Let me know if you have any questions.
Cindy | 28th Apr 20
I’ve heard great things about this program!
Heather | 29th Apr 20
I really enjoy it. I love having so many workouts at my finger tips.
Sara | 29th Apr 20
Whenever I make time to exercise my mind and body both thank me for it. Unfortunately I often don’t make the time for it. Maybe having access to at-home workouts would help me make it a priority. Thanks for sharing.
Shirley | 30th Apr 20
I am not a big exercise person. I try, but that’s about it. However, when I am under stress I do find that a long fast walk does wonders. Thanks for the tips and the links.
Jill DeMasi | 30th Apr 20
I loved BOD! My favorites were Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, and the 21 Day Fix. My sister was a coach and the only reason I don’t do it anymore is because I joined a gym. Good time to look at it again. It is definitely worth it!
Sandi | 30th Apr 20
I miss my gym. However, my dog has never been walked so much in her life. I’m not sure if she’s happy about it, but we get in three miles almost every day. Gotta have that stress relief!
Cindy | 4th May 20
Stress relief is so important during these times and this especially will also take care of our physical bodies. I know I am eating more and eating less healthy choices.
Lisa | 4th May 20
I have heard great things about this.
Ruth Iaela-Pukahi | 7th May 20
That’s cool I didn’t know Beachbody now had a whole on demand library of work out videos now. Before it was one set of videos. This is a great thing!
Stephanie | 11th May 20
I love beachbody on demand. I just finished my second round of MM100 and started 6 weeks of the work. It is intense but so amazing! Seriously everyone should try the program.

Spot on with this write-up, I honestly believe that this website
needs far more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more, thanks for the adviceکودکان دوزبانه !
