This. Before the whole corona hysteria I was well on track of getting into the best shape in my life having lost 18 kg in 4 months and reduced body fat by 10%. The whole lockdown reversed all that and then some. They took away my routine, my gym, even my food temporarily and put me under house arrest.
- low_common 6y agoThere's always the Great Outdoors. Go on a run, a bike ride, calisthenics.
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoYup. I dropped my usual gym routine and went entirely to cardio because I recognized if I didn't I was going to have problems - finished my first (informal - just me and Strava) half marathon a couple of weeks back.
- zionic 6y agoI was in a similar position. It's infuriating.
- neverminder 6y agoExactly. Getting in good shape is incredibly hard for most and people who haven't done this don't realize just how important the routine and having the freedom to maintain it is. How important is unrestricted access to food and gym is. "Go jog outside" is a joke of a suggestion when you've been into fitness for a long time and understand what it takes.
- petre 6y agoBike + trainer indoors, bike outdoors. Preferably away from busy roads. Make sure you have hills, otherwise 15 mi is a minimum. Bike club is good, there's a bit of peer pressure which creates a routine. Also rope jumping but be careful if you're too heavy, buy good shoes, otherwise you'll injure your feet.
