&lt;p&gt;Instead, get up every morning and do different exercises, calisthenics that target different muscle groups. Then, find some kind of work that you enjoy doing on a regular schedule--maybe chopping wood, gardening, walking a dog or exercising horses, yard work, etc. &amp;nbsp;You can do several of these (and more) a day. &amp;nbsp;If you find chores to do outdoors, not only will it be healthy for you, but it will raise your spirits. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Look for activities where you can measure an accomplishment. &amp;nbsp; At the end of the day, you will have the satisfaction of seeing progress. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, try to do things to help others. &amp;nbsp;Make yourself useful. &amp;nbsp;Pick up cans to recycle if you walk along roads. &amp;nbsp;Help a child with homework, even if you must struggle to explain it over the phone. &amp;nbsp;Drop off groceries for a shut-in. &amp;nbsp;Take time to send a cheerful note. &amp;nbsp;Clean out your clutter and donate what others can use.&lt;/p&gt;

Planet Fitness requires masks upon entering/exiting the facility and between workout stations.&lt;/p&gt;

Wearing a mask lowers oxygen/incubates germs/doesn&amp;#39;t stop a virus. A child died running in gym class due to wearing a mask which lowered his oxygen.&lt;/p&gt;
