Simon Ababou, fitness director with the Lititz recCenter, cares about health, especially the health of Lititz-area residents. Since the advent of COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions, Ababou has been especially concerned about the stresses related to job losses, remaining indoors, and isolation from family and friends. “It’s important for people to have body and mind fitness,” said Ababou. Assessing the current situation, Ababou noted that both the virus and the safety measures employed have given rise to depression and anxiety. “The stress of not working, no jobs, and the economy … these things create barriers for people,” said Ababou. He noted the situation may be compounded by a pre-existing mental health diagnosis and added that addictive behaviors are also on the rise. He noted that lack of exercise from staying home contributes to weight gain and energy loss.
