How is everyone handling staying healthy and happy during your lockdown? any tips/tricks? What's working for you and what's not?
It's made me take running up again, and I'm starting to actually enjoy it! After work, if I've not been on a run, I've been going on a pretty big walk - try and make up for sitting in all day.
Been really conscious of what I'm eating too and keeping a good record of my weight too (I actually have a dataset which is kinda weird) since I'm generally being less active
How's everyone else coping?

I'm exercising at home almost every day for an hour and I actually ended up being in much better shape now, after 6 weeks of isolation, than before :D
I also try to cook every day and eat more veggies. I honestly don't remember the last time I ate junk food. Taking a lot of vitamin supplements as well.
The state of mind is also very important, so I reserved a corner on the balcony where I read books when the weather is nice :)
Wow, that's so much more commitment than me!
Need to up my game and start doing more exercise but limited space in my flat unfortunately...
More veggies is a great shout - I starting eating vegetarian at the start of the year and definitely noticed being far healthier during this than I would've been last year!
Great plan with the balcony too, I'm doing similar with my deck so that I can have a good divide between work & relaxing!
Haha well, the exercising is actually the result of my fear of gaining weight now that I sit/lay all day :D
Hey - If it works, it works! :D
I live close to a steep hill that in normal circumstances I would go out of my way to avoid. Now I can't wait to get up there just to stretch my legs. Sitting for a whole day makes me miss the 15-minute walk to the office more than I could have imagined.
Yesss I completely agree!
Never thought I'd miss my walk to work but wow, it actually used to really just wake me up properly!
