Ipswich CII Lockdown as told by Laura Blyth

This week we hear from our President, Laura Blyth.

"I have found it quite difficult in lockdown to motivate myself to be active. I usually go to the gym a few times a week as one of my main hobbies is eating, therefore it is important to balance it out.

I was starting to feel a lot more stressed and lethargic so I needed something to kick start my motivation. I purchased a Fitbit to help me track my steps and set myself a daily goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. As I have recently moved, it is a great way to explore my surroundings and get away from my laptop for a while each day.

I have also jumped on the home workout hype and have tried various different ones. I am three weeks into Pamela Reif’s 45 minute Fat Burn weekly workouts and loving it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a workout that isn’t all jumping up and down and doing burpees (spoiler: there is some burpees).
