I have found myself structuring my days around walks and bike rides (socially distanced of course!) With the threat of being on lockdown I am taking great pleasure in my ability to be outdoors and with that is an increased desire to get my steps in, to sweat a little, become a little breathless and to enjoy the onset of Spring. Perhaps it's also about getting healthier to become less of a target for this horrible virus, and it is a lot about clearing my head, and doing something I have CONTROL OVER. Apparently many others feel the same as our neighbourhood is full of walkers and runners and cyclists (all staying well away from each other).
When the day comes and we are stuck in doors we have other resources at our disposal to Keep fit while Keeping to ourselves.
Here are some suggestions from Travelocity.ca:
Whether you're a regular gym bunny, or simply at risk of going stir crazy if you don't channel some energy into exercise, now may be the time to take an online fitness class. There are plenty of free options to help you stay in shape, including The Body Coach TV, fitness coach Joe Wicks’s YouTube channel. Joe is the nation's self-proclaimed PE teacher, and his channel is full of free exercises you can do at home, with no equipment needed.
