For past many days, other than walking, I just couldn't get myself to do anything physical or fitness related. Weather is cold as well. So, today, I dusted off my old trusty kettle bells, and swung three sets of kb swings - a light workout considering my sensitive back. It went well. I will increase the intensity as the days go by. Fingers crossed.
What are you doing to stay physically fit in this period of social distancing.

In the UK we are allowed out of the house once a day for exercise. I take the dog for a walk (my wife uses her allowance for his other daily walk).
I have mostly been doing weights (three way split), rowing machine and bowling in the garden, to keep active.
Fortunately the weather is bright and warm here. I don't expect that will last much longer, and then we will start to feel rather more claustrophobic.

Please tell me this isn't a hashtag that people are actually using?

^ Funny you should ask...:D
For some reason, I can't find my old posts when I search for them using keywords. So I am adding pound-keyword combo to ease futuro searches.

Cycling for me, some indoors on Zwift and some outdoors. Weather's been lovely here so good to make the most of it!

Just tried this out- excellent workout, many thanks for sharing! Got a right good bead on.
All downdog apps are free until May1st by the way guys, if you go to downdogapp.com

I'm running 9 to 12k about 4 times a week. I try and include some sprints over short distances to keep my pace good. This is something I usually do out of season anyway. I don't find I can maintain it over the summer as my legs get fatigued /injured if I'm also playing twice a week.
Not much upper body work apart from some throwing and hitting a cricket ball on a string. Might try and mix in some circuits and dynamic yoga (which is actually the toughest work out of all for me...anyone else find that?)

Took my bicycle out...a little nippy (59 F/15 C), close to no traffic. Fun ride.

I found an old Insanity dvd collection. Tried the fitness test, takes 30 mins, 8 activities, I could only do 6 🙄.
So I'm doing some sit ups, press ups and squats I. Sets and keeping a track of how many I'm doing. Just trying to build up each day. See where I am after. Week. Only on day 3.

I've done Insanity and T25, the best way I've found of stripping fat quickly (along with a sensible diet). Its difficult at the start, but I'd stick with it as it is a good workout to do from home imo.

Bit hard when your 294lbs lol

Yeah definitely mate! Although you can just do the parts when you can and rest if needed, you'll be surprised the progression you'll make if you're strict with diet etc as well.
Good luck with it whatever you do. Anything is better than nothing!

I have been drinking a lot of beer and eating everything I can get my hands on.
I'm aiming to come out of this spherical.

Barn for a few nets a day
Set up a fire stick with a 55’ tv for ashes full series re runs in the barn
Running machine
Bike on turbo
5/10kg weights and a mat
I should be ok to keep the weight falling off hopefully. 21 down to 15 and a half so don’t want to ruin that

Ball on a string! That takes me back. Glad that's a tradition that's not being lost!

* Probably does your game very little good whatsover. But nevertheless...

It's pretty useful for warming up, watching the ball carefully, and pactising a particular shot that needs work.

Just ran 9k while the kids cycled alongside me. Put a heavy bag up in the garage the I’ve been doing 6 rounds on every other night. Also got a cross trainer, assault bike and a weight bench that I’ve been using to keep my fitness up.

Luckily Ive got an Olympic bar with 4x 10kg plates, a few different dumbells and various flex bands, so have been doing a fairly decent routine outside on the patio in the morning sunshine.
Coupled with living fairly rurally and being able to run with the dog for miles without seeing another person I am hoping not to bloat too much in this spell!

Played 30 legs of darts.

I’ve bought a book called anatomy of stretching that I’m working my way through! Didn’t realise my flexibility was so bad

Tell me about it!
In my case, it was some overly strong muscle compensating for weak(er) muscles which led to lot of back and leg pain. Long story short, I was prescribed a set of exercises (and stretches) by a physical therapist and notice to lay off heavy weights.
I am hoping that developing a regular "kettlebell" practice will help with some of tightness and weak muscle issues.

A bit of resistance /bat speed training during isolation😉

Isolation got to your head..deep breaths... few more weeks to go yet.
-
Thanks for the help... I hope the carpet and I will pull through this difficult time
It's probably typical of the first 10 shots of my innings before I get out : wildly swing and miss, then play a few straight, then get tempted and start playing wild shots, then get out...

I've got 2 x catering size tins of beans for the upper body and a (No Swearing Please)-pump.
I'm good to go.
