Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 10 August

Query:

I am working on an article about healthy lifestyles and finances
for an investment bank. They recently released a report
highlighting how the COVID-19 pandemic motivated many Americans
to make a commitment to health and wellness and / or inspired
them to find more affordable ways to live a healthier lifestyle.

The study also found that those who dedicate time and resources
to maintaining their physical wellness are also more engaged in
strengthening their overall financial health.

I'm seeking personal stories about maintaining and / or
committing to a healthier lifestyle during and post-COVID-19.
What is your pandemic fitness story? In what ways has steering
toward active wellness and health enhanced your life in the
midst of the pandemic? What new and less costly ways did you
discover to stay in shape? Do you make any correlation to
keeping on top of your health to also keeping tabs on your
finances?

I'm also interested in hearing from experts about why the
pandemic affected the mindset of so many to get and stay in
shape, how the same types of behavioral traits it takes to stay
motivated and committed to personal health transfers to
maintaining one's financial health, etc.
