Veterinary nurses may experience numerous barriers that prevent them from accessing or engaging in physical activity. Common barriers include cost, \u201cgymtimidation,\u201d and safety concerns.<sup>1<\/sup> These limitations can be challenging, but not impossible to overcome. With help from the community, free or low-cost resources, and team support, veterinary nurses can successfully cultivate a long-term workout program that works for them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\">Affordable Fitness for Veterinary Nurses<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">In the NAVTA 2022 Demographic Survey, 39% of respondents reported that low salary was the most challenging aspect of the veterinary nursing profession.<sup>2<\/sup> Although the average wage has increased by 25% in the last 5 years per the same survey, many veterinary nurses continue to live with financial constraints.<sup>2<\/sup> Reportedly 1 in 3 individuals has a second job in addition to their role as a veterinary nurse.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Between living expenses and student loan payments, a gym membership is often at the bottom of one\u2019s list of priorities. Fortunately, there are ways to make exercise more affordable. Implement these tips to avoid breaking the bank while still participating in consistent cardiovascular and resistance movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Watch free videos<\/b>. Video platforms such as YouTube and Instagram host a wealth of fitness clips you can follow from the comfort of your own home. Use specific keywords to search for the type of workout you would like to try along with your desired level, such as \u201cfor beginners\u201d or \u201clow impact.\u201d Previous articles in this <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/column\/movement-is-medicine\/\">Movement Is Medicine series<\/a> offer <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/resources\/clinic-resources\/\">videos with movement demonstrations along with the proper technique<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Hit the pavement<\/b>. Walking is a fantastic movement modality that is both beneficial and entirely free. Walk at a brisk pace for 150 minutes each week to fulfill your aerobic exercise requirements. For example, aim to walk your dog (or a healthy patient) around the block if the weather permits, or retreat to an indoor mall if it doesn\u2019t.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Participate in group classes<\/b>. Many community centers and organizations offer low-cost or free group fitness classes. Keep an eye on your area\u2019s community events calendar for upcoming classes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Dance it out<\/b>. It is nearly impossible to resist the urge to move your body when listening to your favorite song. An easy and free way to engage in aerobic exercise is through dance. Simply close your bedroom door, hit \u201cplay\u201d on your playlist, and dance like no one is watching (because they aren\u2019t).<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Locate community park gym stations<\/b>. Many community parks have outdoor fitness equipment for free public use. These are often located near or within playgrounds. Most include equipment where you can use your body weight to perform resistance training movements, such as push-up bars, dip bars, and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Thrift gym equipment<\/b>. It is often easy to find inexpensive fitness equipment on resale sites such as Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Routinely search for items such as weights, jump ropes, or stability balls to purchase low-priced secondhand items.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Inclusive Movement for Veterinary Nurses<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, some fitness environments may be inaccessible due to feelings of discomfort or intimidation. This phenomenon is so common that the term \u201cgymtimidation\u201d was coined to describe the pressure caused by working out in public.<sup>3<\/sup> Anyone can experience gymtimidation regardless of fitness level or ability, and surveys reveal that approximately 50% of adults do.<sup>4<\/sup> However, individuals in marginalized groups, including women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ folks, and people with disabilities, are often at a higher risk of experiencing gymtimidation.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29621\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/Lookman_TVNFall23_AccessibleFitness_Fig1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29621\" class=\"wp-image-29621 \" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/Lookman_TVNFall23_AccessibleFitness_Fig1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/Lookman_TVNFall23_AccessibleFitness_Fig1.png 1100w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/Lookman_TVNFall23_AccessibleFitness_Fig1-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/Lookman_TVNFall23_AccessibleFitness_Fig1-1024x833.png 1024w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarynurse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/08\/Lookman_TVNFall23_AccessibleFitness_Fig1-768x625.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29621\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Remie Geoffroi<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The ability to feel welcome and safe in a gym setting is vital in order for veterinary nurses to maintain a long-term fitness program. The good news is that inclusive fitness establishments are becoming more commonplace. If you choose to pursue fitness outside of your home, choose a space where you feel safe. During your search, ask facilities these questions to avoid spaces where you might feel uncomfortable:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Do you offer a gym orientation for new members?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Does your establishment have a policy against discrimination and harassment?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Do your group fitness instructors offer personalized modifications based on ability?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">Do your trainers use inclusive language?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p3\">Fitness That Is Accessible to All<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">Veterinary nurses can benefit immensely from the support of their veterinary practice and management teams as well as the community at large. Wellness incentive programs and employer-funded gym memberships can help offset the financial cost, while resource lists of inclusive gyms can promote safety and reduce gymtimidation. Establishing a fitness routine while working as a veterinary nurse is possible, and doing so can improve your long-term health. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the
