Lockdown workouts

[pandas]

I am going to regret this post as it will be open to interpretation but here goes. Not in Scotland so golf cancelled, areas to walk nearby there are either too many other people walking, jogging or travelling further afield is not within the sprit of lock down so reluctantly I have been looking at alternative ways to exercise within the house.

Joe Wicks is my starting point and quite enjoyed but as I happen to use an Apple watch as a golfing gps I have now subscribed to the Apple Fitness + which links to the fitness programs. Brilliant. Links to the TV, iPad or whatever and gives you all the stats, different types exercise as well as different levels. Anyhow have a look on line if you are an Apple person. This post is simply trying to prompt others to suggest good work our programs they have found useful for those non 'Ironmans'. Hopefully not too many 'alternative' suggestions!

Well done for making the effort.

Why wife and daughter have taken up 6km walks at 5am every day whilst there is no one around.

I have been somewhat more restrained and limit my exercise to walking between the lounge and my beer fridge in the kitchen(and back)

and apologies for my typos - did it in a hurry between workouts!

I have never felt so lethargic in my life. I am drinking too much, sitting at the pc all the time and like Chris, it's only beer related exertion that is keeping me in condition. I did cook a monster beef burguinon last night so did some peeling and standing up. I might try some chewing exercises later, maybe some power grimacing as I get out the armchair, we will have to see how it goes.

I’ve got really lazy for the last year and I seem to have got really good at it, but the upside is that some days it’s really hard doing nothing....

As part of my health regime I do 150 sit ups and 100 press ups each morning. Joe Wicks is beeping lorded but he’s making a fortune from he’s online programs. Do your own thing and save money.

Youtube has loads of free fitness videos, including those for the over 60s - all lengths fro 10 minutes to an hour. Just a case of deciding which one you like best! I try to walk every day, but do a standing Pilates video in the morning for 10 minutes, & other videos if the weather is too bad to walk. I’ve also bought a second hand Wii console with a Wii fit board & loads of dancing & fitness dvds which I do when I feel like it. I’m trying to keep myself as fit as I can, so if I catch Covid, I’ve got a better chance of not getting too ill!
