My winter gym break starts early

Starting today, my county in Ohio have a stay-at-home order that ends on 12/16/20, along with the 3-week curfew that started this Thursday night. Though my gym haven't mentioned canceling classes for a month on the website or via email/text alerts, my winter gym break starts next week due to Covid19. Other than trips to the doctor or to the grocery store, I don't think my trips to the gym applies. So this is it until spring 2021 when the pandemic is over and/or vaccinated, or until the order is lifted and we're out of the red zone.

You can try exercising at home though. Not really the same but it's better than nothing.

Our gyms have been forced to close for the weeks and then will see from there how much longer the newest lockdown will apply. quit going after the first lockdown since they close the times when I'm there freest. (Sp?)

@KristenH I've lost about ten pounds being laid up and not eating too much I should start some way exercises myself. I could do leg lifts from the bed or a chair. If wait on doing ones while standing until my foot is better.

@MarshaMusselman Not a bad idea, depending on how your foot feels.

Oh wow. I remember you posted that earlier this week. Good thing I've downloaded some apps on my new phone for home practice until spring.

Shutting down an area does seem to be the only way to get rid of the virus. At least, it has worked for Western Australia.

@DianneN True. And even our county is purple, it's not closing. Just that there's an advisory to wear masks and that the vulnerable hour has been expanded by an hour.

I'm sorry it's starting early. I hope we can get a handle on this pandemic and get it under control so life can take on a more normal state.

Gyms have been especially affected by the virus. I've seen quite a lot of controversy on the news about owners wanting to comply with safety measures but Governors like ours in NJ not allowing them to open. Are you doing any at home exercise to keep fit?

Ugh. Not yet. But I have the apps to do home exercise hopefully yoga tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow night. I'll do Pilates next week. My gym's still open with a mask mandate.

@KristenH Oh that's good about your gym. New Jersey will not open them period. There has been much controversy over this and a few gym owners opened in defiance of the Governor's mandate...
