lockdown movements

[tei]

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 have been taking online classes from my local circus studio, and also from one in Boston. ($15 a class rather than $40 a class is way more affordable for circus than it used to be! And I can help keep them open during the shutdown.) I don't have free weights locally, I got rid of my kettlebells about a year ago because I never used them, which I now regret.

I live in the heart of a city, so the parks are packed during the day and the cops are yelling at people for not maintaining social distancing. I've been getting my walks and running in at 2 AM, since it's the only time that it's not packed. (This is what I get for living two blocks from my city's most recognizable landmark.)

Oh man, that sounds STRESSFUL not being able to go outside at normal hours without being reprimanded by the police.

I tried out a local circus/mostly pole studio just a few days before the shutdown :( I hope they still exist by the time I can actually go there!
