All my life, I’ve hated exercise and resented working out. But then Covid-19 hit. I wasn’t leaving the house, I couldn’t sleep due to anxiety, and I was eating too much ice cream. My friend suggested I contact her to arrange live remote sessions, and I am so glad I did. First, Charis listened to all my anxieties about past bad experiences. Then she devised numerous routines that PERFECTLY hit a happy medium: I’m consistently challenged, so I stay excited and motivated and see progress, but I’m never discouraged, embarrassed, or in physical pain. Immediately, I started sleeping better and felt less general anxiety, which has made coping with Coronavirus easier. But I also have more energy, less lethargy, and I’m getting stronger. I find myself looking forward to our sessions. Indeed, last week I had to miss one, and I would’ve thought I’d be secretly happy, but in fact I was disappointed.
