I go for a long walk every day it is allowed and you sound like you were following all the guidelines. I’m sure it’s better to get out if you can it certainly boosts my mood and I feel better for getting some excercise.

Every morning i have been doing 30mins of home exercise, but this morning i really need to blow away the cobwebs. So i risked going for a 30 min walk round the block. It was lovely, i only saw a couple walking their dog and a couple out for a walk too. We all were on the opposite side of the road to each other so no contact. There was a father and his two boys out on their bikes but that was it. I felt really guilty about doing it but also felt better for it. First time out of the house and garden for 7 days and my legs definately need it they had certainly stiffened up with lack of use. The arthritis didnt help either i felt like a duck waddling rather than walking. I am concerned that lack of use will mean i will no longer be able to walk very far once this is all over.
