<p>Dealing with the unforeseen challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a significant toll on people all across the world. Every single human, some way, some how, has been affected as we are ALL living in a page of history with different gets crossed that we come out healthy and secure with our jobs as small businesses owners. </p> <p> </p> <p>The big question is, when can we get back to normal?</p> <p> </p> <p>How can we turn the nonessential health & wellness centers into essential businesses?</p> <p> </p> <p>In the wake of a global health pandemic, easing back into our usual fitness routines can induce a range of challenges, as well as uncertainties/worries around which activities are safe to do & when.</p> <p> </p> <p>I’ll raise my hand first & say with certainty that continued physical inactivity will bring catastrophic consequences for our physical & mental health, not to mention that of the economy & environment.</p> <p> </p> <p>Health & wellness centers are essential for so many reasons. The most important being, regular aerobic exercise increases your immunological fitness. In other words, exercise increases blood flow & mobilizes white blood cells, one of the main defences against harmful microbes. Regular exercise also guards against obesity & decreases the risk for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, & cardiovascular disease, three of the most important underlying conditions that impact the fight against COVID-19! </p> <p> </p> <p>My fellow health and fitness business owners & I strongly believe that we should be categorized as “essential” by the Governor. Our hope is that you can speak up for us and help us be a part of the solution in the fight against COVID-19!</p>
