For NPRMusic's Daily Breather, Alice Bag talks about making home workout videos. “At a time when the best thing we can do is to stay home and avoid contact, it helps me feel connected to others — even if it's only through a screen.”
I wake up and pour my cup of green tea, which I sip while making breakfast and brewing my coffee. I used to turn on the morning news but these days, I've been feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm 61 years old, I have asthma and about a year and a half ago I was hospitalized with a scary bout of pneumonia. I take in this viral threat and try to move through my days but the feeling of dread is still in my subconscious.
My new schedule is all about staying inside or at least in my own yard. I find that I'm sitting a lot: getting tired quickly, turning to coffee and sweets for energy — until I finally snap out of it. I remember that I used to be an exercise instructor; sure, it was over 40 years ago and we mostly did basic calisthenics, but I've watched my share of Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda videos in the past and I still do the occasional Fitness Marshall workout with my daughter, so it makes sense.
