So whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just a regular Joe, it’s important that you take care of yourself during this transition. Below are thus quick tips on how to keep fit during your move. 

Eat as healthily as possible.

There will be times when you need to even carry those heavy boxes yourself when your movers are busy handling your furnitures. So supply yourself with cleaner energy by increasing your vegetable, fibre and water intake.

Find time to do mini workouts.

It might be impossible to schedule hour-long gym sessions, but who says you can’t keep your routine? The trick steal in some exercise in between moving tasks. Spending ten to fifteen minutes on yoga, weight-lifting or brisk walking can do wonders for the mind and body.

Keep your organisations simple.

Schedule your phone calls and emails.

A fit body starts with a fit mind. Curb stress by planning out your emails in advance. Whenever possible, divert unimportant phone calls. The most important thing to do during this transitional period is to stay focused on the things you have to do and your feelings are you execute them.

Have an exercise buddy.

Nothing, after all, is as hard as you make it!
