These days, most of us are homebound but we don鈥檛 have to let our fitness go.
And even if you鈥檝e never tried it before, maybe now鈥檚 the time to get started on some exercise.
That鈥檚 where Ashley Larson comes in. The Penticton-based kinesiologist is offering free online workouts and healthy recipe ideas through her Facebook page .
Larson said she wanted to give back to the community the best way she knew how: by helping people鈥檚 fitness.
She started the page on March 26 and has since posted a few recipes and workout ideas.
鈥淚 wanted to offer ideas for things people can do at home, how they can stay fit, healthy and sane,鈥� she said.
鈥淚f everything shuts down and we also shut down, we could sink into depression. Exercise, even at home, keeps people moving and engaged. Exercise is something we can control. I think it鈥檚 very important to keep in control of the things we can actually control.鈥�
鈥淎nd once they start to get active, they start to feel better and I just like to see that in people.鈥�
Larson added that she hopes the page can bring people together as they interact in the comments section, encourage each other and offer their own ideas.
She said she has a lot in store for the page, including more workouts, video tips, as well as specific programs that will cater to older folks, people with limited mobility and chronic pain.
鈥淭his is how I know how to help people and I鈥檓 just glad to give back this way.鈥�
If you know others who are giving back and helping those in need during this critical time, send us an email and let us know!
