Fitness In The New Normal
Most of us have experienced a change in our entire lives over the past few months. We are now forced to stay home, work from home and figure out ways to survive doing so. With this “new normal”, some of us have not been able to stick to a fitness plan as public gyms are closed. Some gyms that offer classes have been able to offer them virtually. What do you do if you belong to a regular gym with machines and no classes?

A Community Defined by Loneliness
In a time like this one, we all search for something to depend on, something we can control. We can no longer control our entire lives, going to and from as we please, stopping for nothing and no one. Suddenly, we are forced to be conscious of the people around us and the way we interact. This new normal has inspired loneliness, and I am feeling hyperaware of the way one simple human interaction can change my day from meaningless to meaningful. Because without these interactions, we live in bubbles of ourselves and hopefully our families, waiting for a news report to tell us that the control is back in our hands. Until then, we wait and we search.
