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

Late to the post, but due to some other circumstances colliding with this, I've actually had more of an exercise routine than I mostly had previously thus far. I've been doing little bits of something like step aerobics (improvised) and something like calisthenics (mainly attempts at sit-ups and wall push-ups, which are not amazing but seem to be helping overall; other suggestions appreciated).

Not going out for walks has put a significant dent in things—the lockdown orders here don't actually forbid it for exercise so long as you stay away from other people in the process, but it's harder to justify since my walks usually have a destination, and the situation with my clotheswasher being broken makes inbound decontamination much more costly.

Being cooped-up in general is also not having great effects on my body wrt postural stuff, but it's not a huge difference from before. The seats on the bus and stuff weren't exactly amazing either—I think the difference there is the amount of time spent on my feet, which I'm not sure how to replicate since I don't have much that I can do on my feet at home other than housework—which there's a need for, but there's other executive stuff that makes it hard.

I have a small back porch-like surface, but I haven't been using it for physical activity, though I've been opening the door to it for ventilation sometimes.
