A Year In - How The Pandemic Has Impacted Our Workouts

It’s Been 365 Days and some of us….…are still feeling lost on our fitness journey. For me, it’s been a hard year. I started with the same mindset of this will give me ample time to workout. And it has, but other things have kind of gotten in the way of that. For me, it is injury. Yes the back issue I have written about before – still here, still looming. It reminds me that if I workout too much I will be out for a week or two here and there, it also reminds me that something like pushing in a bench can throw it out completely. It’s really annoying if I’m being frank. I went from hauling loads of weight (the culprit) to moving tiny weights, completely seated, and for a longer period of time.

Quarantine, Isolation, and Workouts

Fluctuation. Distraction. Depression. Anxiety.

These are words I’ve heard throughout coaching in 2020. These are words I’ll continue to hear as many people are struggling with the curve ball that has been thrown at us all this year.

Staying Fit During COVID? Me too.

Let’s be honest everyone, gyms are closed because of it being a true health hazard, but that doesn’t mean you need to lose traction with working out. It’s a new climate out there and everyone is adjusting – I will proudly say though, my Mutch Fitness clients have been killing the home workout game since before COVID.

Never Satisfied Syndrome

When I was growing up, I was pretty overweight. I mean, I was fat, but I played sports so it was a weird disguise to being overweight because I could hit a ball to the other field and then run the bases

I’ve gained ten pounds

I’ve gained ten pounds. I’ll lose ten pounds, or maybe I’ll lose 8. I’m not sure.
