MIT Recreation is launching The Healthy Home Habits Plan - A virtual program made to compliment your adjusted lifestyle while we all practice social distancing. We understand that all of us have had to make adjustments to our routines, so we created this program to help the MIT Community stay positive and focused on little things each day that can help make tough times a little easier.


HOW IT WORKS


We will be sending weekly emails, each Monday, with 7 different habits, workouts, or tips. Try to fit whatever you can into your WFH routine. You can incorporate your friends, family, or colleagues (virtually) to make this more engaging. As you implement habits or try workouts, post them on Instagram<https://mitrecsports.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c8d778f68158663d8409ea79&id=71df254887&e=05a75aea5b> so we can share and inspire the community -- just one healthy habit can make a big difference.




LET'S GET STARTED


WEEK #1: SMALL HABITS MAKE A BIG IMPACT
Incorporate the following 7 habits into your week to enhance the quality of your WFH/Social Distancing routine. Try to maintain each habit everyday.


1
Schedule specific times to start and stop working each day, and try to stick to it all week. NOTE: This goes for office work, school work, projects, and other activities. Diversify your day so that it's not focused on just one thing.
2

Schedule a lunch break each day, and use it as an opportunity to 'reset' or 'recharge'. TIP: Try a virtual lunch meeting with a colleague, classmate, or friend.

3

Aim to drink eight glasses of water each day.

4

Stand up every hour. Try not to lay down or sit for long periods of time. TIP: Add in a brief stretch each time you stand up.

5

Don't stay in your PJs - get up and get dressed each day to help you feel your best.

6

Make a healthy meal with ingredients you already have (fruits or vegetables + protein + grains). TIP: Many fruits and veggies help boost your immunity, so incorporate what you can.

7

Choose a 'go-to' body-weight exercise. Do at least 10 reps a day. EXAMPLES: Lunges | Push-ups | Sit-ups | Jumping Jacks | Squats | Burpees
