In the Netherlands gyms have been closed for months and if you complain the excuse is ‘just go for a walk’. It’s not entirely optional if the only option for exercise is going for a walk or (adventure!) a bike ride.
- ncallaway 6y agoIt’s not the only option. You can do a wide variety of exercise without a gym or equipment. Body weight exercises are a great form of strength training you can do anywhere with no equipment. You can replace walks with runs, sprints, or interval training. If you have an appropriate body of water near you, you can also go swimming without going to a gym or pool. Start intervals of boxing the air (if you haven’t done it before, you’ll be shocked at how long 45s is while you’re punching as quickly as you can). With a minimal investment, you can take up jumprope. An excellent cardio exercise. Alternatively, grab a hula hoop, and learn to hula. There are tons of exercises you can do that aren’t walking or going to a gym. It’s not a binary option.
- helij 6y agoPush-ups, sit-ups and some aerobics is another option.
- watwut 6y agoI doubt the lockdown rules say "only walk or bike".
- tinus_hn 6y agoNo, it’s just the government wondering why the population is becoming obese. You know, that risk factor that makes corona ten times as deadly.
