lockdown movements

I'm curious what everyone's physical practices are looking like if you're mostly on lockdown due to COVID? here, it's finally gotten warm enough to be outside comfortably for activities other than running, so I've been trying to do some gymnastics-type training in the park and am considering ordering a slackline and some rings that I could hang from a tree branch.

The downside is that I really don't like people watching me. :P

I've been cycling to and from the allotment (which itself counts as state-mandated exercise), or going for walks with my spouse.

I also do strength training with a trainer, who recently figured out how to do video sessions. I'm relieved at that: maintaining my strength seems to be pretty important in keeping pain from jointcrap under control, for me.

My fireman's carry with 10kg on each side is going well. (Allotment watering cans are ten litres each.)

Before my trainer sorted things out, I hooked up a sort of TRX in the back garden using furniture lifting straps and a tree.
