For some, group workouts used to be a stress buster. But things have changed with the social distancing necessitated by the pandemic. Gyms and health and fitness centres have shut until at least April 15. With all outdoor movement and activities restricted during the lockdown, many now stand a risk of developing issues stemming from a sedentary lifestyle. This could lead to a rise in illnesses that may, in turn, put unwanted pressure on the healthcare system. However, the lockdown need not spell the end of your fitness journey. With online fitness classes booming, there are no excuses for not working out even if you can’t hit the gym.
