‘Exerciseoholics’ are probably going crazy now that their daily exercise routines have been nipped in the bud because of the 21-day lockdown and are finding it difficult to adjust to remain fit and in shape.
The good news is that most gymnasiums are providing online exercise classes and workout routines.
There are also various WhatsApp groups sending out information and workouts that one can do at home.
But this is the time to become creative and use one’s initiative to keep fit utilising one’s garden space and household furniture.

There are various challenges online one can Google and do at home.
For example by running 2km a day over the 21-day period would work out to running a marathon (42km).
People are using treadmills and stationary bikes to get their necessary mileage in.
Others have resorted to swimming laps in swimming pools at home.
Most workouts can be dynamic, using own body weight to train and improve strength and endurance.
As for equipment, one can use chairs, 5-litre water bottles, cans of baked beans and other such items.
Google is a great platform to find things to do to keep your shape and fitness levels.
