Lockdown diary, day 15

My wife makes me get on the scales, and as she suspected, I have put on weight while cooped up in the house and unable to be nearly as active as usual.

I am going to have to make a serious effort to lose it, not least because being overweight is a risk factor if one does get this blasted virus.

One positive step: I have a useful conversation with Colin Cox, the county councils director of public health.

Not going to publish the full conversation here but I am sure he would not mind me repeating that one of the wonderful things about how people have dealt with the Coronavirus in Cumbria is that throughout the county communities have come together to support one another, with huge numbers of people volunteering to help and businesses and individuals from Sellafield down to small SME's stepping up to the plate to help deal with the challenges we all face.

Colin says it would be wonderful if we could keep that up after the crisis is over and I agree.

My gym is doing home workouts via zoom. However there are a number of free home workouts on facebook and you tube. Most of which you dont need any equipment.
very short ones from the NHS Here
if you get bored with those lots on you tube like this

Also you should make sure you get out for a walk or some form of exercise daily. Just a stroll around the harbour or something. During a normal walking day you build up a lot more steps than you would realise, just with general things like going to and from car parks, going to other offices, buildings, meetings etc.

Even when you are not out on exercise or other essential things, then during the good weather, where possible use the garden, if you can work from the garden.
