For Carrie 2, exercise was her mental health.
Transcript
Exercise – this is the hardest part about all of this – exercise was my mental health. So that is what I did to destress from work. I used to do an hour spin class followed by an hour of boxing. Now that was gone because of the pandemic a little bit. I wasn’t going to workout classes but activity and getting my heartrate up is really – it’s like my antidepressant. And so having that taken away from me, that was the worst. When I realized I couldn’t exercise I – that’s when I knew I had to reduce my hours – because I need to exercise. I need to be able to do some sort of exercise at some point. I need to have hope that that’s going to be there – that I can go hiking again one day – because I can’t do that. All I can do is slow walks in the neighbourhood, on a non-work day. I can do that and that stays within my budget. So I miss it terribly – like terribly.
