So, take time to stretch, get your body moving or walk around a bit every hour. Many studies also show that being active helps with mental health and improves academic performance.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Promote good mood:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Staying in one place for long can make start to make you feel caged in, so changing your environment is important even as staying home and social distancing remain top priorities. Make it a point to go outside and get some fresh air every day. If you can, do so every 10 minutes once an hour.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect your immune system:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Being outside not only helps you feel refreshed, it also boosts vitamin D, which helps maintain normal immune-system function. You can also promote a healthy immune system by engaging in moderate aerobic activity, such as a brisk walk or dancing.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop interests and gain confidence:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">Now is a great time for people to try new types of workout and find what they like, because ultimately the most beneficial exercise is the type you enjoy and will commit to. Being active at home gives novices the chance to become familiar with different exercises so they can gain experience and confidence in their athletic ability. This can be helpful for maintaining a workout regime or becoming comfortable exercising around others when social distancing is no longer needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You should listen to your body to determine what kinds of exercise and how much to incorporate into your routine.&#8221; &#8211; Kyra Dickie&#8217;16, RWC assistant director of Fitness<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While UCF\u2019s Recreation and Wellness Center locations are closed until further notice, staff members are still providing services to help you stay active at home through its new RWC+ programming, which is available online and through social channels (@UCFRWC on \u00a0Instagram, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ucfrwc\/\">\u00a0Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UCFRWC\/\">Twitter<\/a>). Starting April 15, you can also tune in every Wednesday on UCF\u2019s IG account (@ucf.edu) at 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. for Workout Wednesdays live sessions.<\/p>\n<p>These materials include original content, such livestream fitness classes on IG Live and daily online home workout videos, as well as links to external fitness resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe RWC strives to provide an eclectic variety of ways we can get students moving in ways they want to be moving. With this transition into remote offerings through RWC+, that goal still stays the same,\u201d says <strong>Kyra Dickie \u201916<\/strong>, assistant director of Fitness for UCF\u2019s Recreation and Wellness Center. Dickie, who studied <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/kinesiology-bs\/exercise-and-sport-physiology\/\">sports and exercise science<\/a> at UCF and has worked in the fitness industry for more than 7 years, shares some tips for staying active at home.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Listen to your body<\/strong>: There are so many different ways to be active, from bike riding to weightlifting, and playing with your pet to walking, so you should listen to your body to determine what kinds of exercise and how much to incorporate into your routine. Challenge yourself, but if something doesn\u2019t feel right or you\u2019re experiencing pain, ease off the exercise. You may also want to consider how your sleeping and eating habits are affecting your ability to be active and adjust accordingly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a trusted source<\/strong>: At this time there are so many resources from gyms, workout studios and fitness influencers. But you should focus on the material higher education institutions are putting out because they\u2019re probably the safest. At UCF, we require that every personal and group exercise trainer has up-to-date certification. Our material is designed to be attainable for most people too, and it\u2019s free for everyone to use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stretch and hydrate daily<\/strong>: One thing everyone should do every day is stretch. When you\u2019re sitting, you\u2019re just in one plane of motion, but when you stretch you activate different planes of motion, which helps lubricate your joints, create more flexibility in your muscles, and boost positive hormones and energy in your brain and body. Now is also a great time to make sure you\u2019re drinking enough water, which is different for every person based on weight, health, level of activity and environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No equipment? No problem<\/strong>: Everyone has objects in their homes that can double as workout equipment, such as textbooks for weights and a chair that can be used for tricep dips. But with or without equipment, you can still get a good workout by completing bodyweight exercises, such as yoga, which only requires some space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Staying motivated and tracking progress<\/strong>: Depending on what your goals are there are different apps for tracking exercise-related progress and maintaining motivation, but I recommend everyone focus on the feeling of being active. You can write down how you feel after each workout in a journal or text a friend to let them know you\u2019ve had an awesome workout, which may motivate them and inspire you to keep going.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although gyms and fitness studios are closed, two UCF experts share why it&#8217;s important to stay active and how to do so with
