Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. - John 12:23-24
The importance of physical activity or exercise have been demonstrated across the lifespan. We are meant to move and many of our body’s systems work better when we are physically active.
Here in the Philippines I observed lately that Casinos and Malls are open but they are not allowing Gyms to operate which is not really fair for those who are trying to stay fit and boost their immune system during this pandemic.
We totally understand the reason of lockdowns and community quarantine and that is to protect people and maintain social distancing and stop the spread of the virus. But are we really doing it? In my opinion it's a NO. As you roam around the streets you will notice that there is a lot of people waiting for public transport. There are check points everywhere to ensure that no one is going against the quarantine protocols which means is to check motorcycles only. Public places and leisure are open and so as casinos where there is a lot of people gathering to gamble. Police officers are able to break the protocols and celebrate a birthday. This is the real social distancing that everyone are talking about.
I went to the gym last month and spend time and couple of days in hope to strengthen my body and my immune system. Coaches and other members are properly sanitizing every equipment before it was use by another person. Days later a pair of police officers went up and warn people to stop or be fined or worst closed the gym. Is it really bad now to take care of yourself? Why don't they go to the mall across the gym and tell them to closed since that only gives leisure? Or maybe because malls pay taxes higher that a members only fitness gym? That's for us to know.
To conclude, we all should take care of our selves and follow protocols for our own safety. We cannot afford to get the virus and bring it home to our loved ones. Wear your face mask always and also your face shield(which I really can't see the sense on this) and bring sanitizers every time. I don't expect anything on this post but this is just to show that physical fitness should be allowed in gyms since not everyone does have the luxury of exercising at home for so many reason.
