While fitness centers and gyms remain closed during the
pandemic, it’s good news to know that you can still exercise, and it doesn’t
have to be inside your own house. Outdoor exercise is not only still possible,
but can be safe if you take certain precautions.
If you’re in the neighborhood park, maintain the 6-foot
social distancing rule and wear a mask if you’re around anyone else. And, don’t
forget the basics: Keep your hands away from your face and mouth. You can take
your own mat if you want to perform exercises that call for one, but don’t
share it with others, and do keep some wipes available to wipe it down with.
If you’re going to be doing exercises that call for
sprinting in place, double your social distancing to 12 feet. If you’re walking, running or doing any other
sort of activity all alone, it’s OK — just make sure to be prepared to properly
social distance if you encounter someone.
