Exercise

Urm, I don't often agree with you, but on this I do. We all need to stay in.

I’m in Spain. Complete lockdown. Day 22 now out of 49. No outside exercise for ANYONE. Police checks. Only dog walkers. The Spanish entrepreneurs have apparently been renting their dogs out to their neighbours ...
?

Have you read the reports that the 2 metre distance isn't enough? Running on the spot. HIT exercise. There are OF COURSE ways to exercise at home. Those that say otherwise are making excuses.

Anarchy because they are AT LAST working out we all just need to stay in? None of us like it. I'm locked in with a 2 year old. Try that for frustration!

Frankly, if you want to risk your own life, that's your choice. But you don't have the right to risk the lives of others.

It HAS to be one rule for everyone or we're still going to be in this mess for longer.

I heard about the possible ban this morning and it has made me anxious, as long as people are walking and social distancing then not to much harm can be done. The people that flouted the rules a couple of weeks ago and crammed onto beeches and local parks set about ruining things for others who were happy to stick to rules. If they try to enforce this it could bring about anarchy and I am now getting impatient with the government. I better watch the Queens address tonight and try to calm down.

Gagajo sorry but heart rate will not get up doing that and plus I have no stairs so that’s good advice. You cannot judge where people live as a definate judge on the country. Some people live rural as I and so can exercise not near anyone. The exercise boosts immunity too.

I know sorry I keep replying I need someone to chat to. This instability and fear of other measures is what is making me more ill than the virus itself. In Italy they started walking fluffy soft toys.

Just stay in! Run up and down the stairs, burpees if you're very fit. Online aeobics. There's plenty of 'in house' exercise you can do.

For gods sake! This is a modern plague. The more people are out and about, the longer we'll be in bl**dy lockdown.

You've got me worried now. One hour walk in our quiet village is what keeps me sane and my DH being able to move. But people will start to go shopping every day for one item like they do now in Europe where exercise is banned!

If I was unable to go out across the field for my evening walk..I would definitely lose the plot..missing my children, grandchildren, friends, normal life..my walk is a sort of meditation for me...

Also the countries banned exercise they banned dog walks too.

I'm furious too Missfoodlove. We don't even go out together to walk our dogs so they get 2 walks a day. They should fine these idiots on the spot, they're going to spoil it for the rest of us.

Totally agree, maybe parks should be closed and seafronts etc patrolled but a health secretary banning it is a joke, I’m so ill with worry about this on top of business going bust, virus itself and food shopping too, measure are strict enough. I see some very very fit cyclists when out they have worked at this it’s disgusting and wrong to stop them.

I too am furious, we have been so stringent, 1 hourly walk a day and a trip to the supermarket for the first time in 12 days.
It isn’t difficult, I have neighbours that are totally confined and others who are out and about as normal.
There will be some real anger if we are stopped.

Went out today for the first time in four weeks. My son took me for half an hour in my wheelchair (we live together), it was lovely to wander around the village. Not many people out but lots of people doing their front gardens. Everyone was so friendly saying goodbye morning’
