You’re Invited

Hey Athletes and Happy Friday!

Are you working remotely? If the answer is yes, then listen up. 

If the answer is no, still listen up :). 

With so many of us working remotely, chances are that our commute time has decreased and/or is non- existent. Most of us are (probably) happy that we do not have to deal with bumper to bumper traffic, or wake up earlier to get out the door. But, we may be missing out on optimal time to enhance our mental health by leaving our home to recharge. 

Here are some benefits of getting outside: 

- Improves your mental health which is SO IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW

- Creates a routine and a schedule

- Differentiates your role at home. 

- Soaks up some much-needed vitamin- D

- Improves your physical fitness 

- Provides time just for YOU

I believe it is so important to get outside and break up your day for you. 

What do you love to do outside? I love getting up early and starting my day with a run- I feel rejuvenated and prepared for the day. I am motivated, and can get more accomplished.

So, I thought it would be fun and exciting to create a fun (and free) venture-

No matter if you are working from home, working at an office, or not working at all- YOU ARE INVITED to join the COMMUTER CREW!

During the month of April, I encourage you to “commute” at the beginning, middle or end of your work day at least once a week.

“Commute” in a way that feels good for you- run, walk, bike, the list goes on.

We start Monday, April 5th, but you can start whenever you are ready.

Click here for your digital tracker- You can track your progress via social media- put a check mark, emoji, gif, whatever you want each time you “commute”. Share it on your stories, posts, send me a screenshot… anything goes.

Use the Hashtag #Commutercrew2021 so we can connect and motivate each other.

I CAN’T WAIT TO CHEER YOU ON!!!!!!

See below for some additional information.

Should I replicate my commute time/distance? You can- for example. If your commute is typically 4 miles, then you can walk or jog, or a ride a bike for 4 miles. Or, if your commute is typically 30 minutes, you can walk, jog, etc for that length of time, too. 

Do I have to replicate my commute? NO! 10 minutes is perfect!

What if I am self-employed, leave my house to work, a STAHM, or not working? ALL ARE WELCOME- join us!!! You can still reap the benefits of getting out of the house and doing something for you.

However you can create time to get outside is perfect for YOU.

Is this a competition? No, the only person you should compete against is yourself. This is an opportunity for us to come together and cheer each other on.

Can I participate more than once a week? Of course!! Complete your commute every day that feels good for your mind and body.
