COVID-19 has done a major change to our daily lifestyle. The globe is on a standstill due to covid-19 & to protect ourselves from this deadly virus we are confined indoors.
Offices are shut and we are asked to work from home. Gyms & other centers are shut too. As it could turn into a major hotspot for this virus. Our daily activities have come to an halt.
But with all these restrictions and lockdowns once should try to keep their body as active as possible. The best way to do so is WALK. One should walk as much as possible. Keep that heart pumping and sweat out the stress and anxiety which has built up over time during these tough times.
It has been said that an individual needs to walk minimum 4000 steps everyday, which is the borderline of being healthy & active. Anything between 7000 to 10000 is ideal steps one should take. Waking helps your joints and points in your body to get loose and flexible which have gone stiff staying at home and doing nothing. It is also a great way to de-stress.
You don’t need to be in a park or need a treadmill at the gym to walk. You can simple walk indoors or in your society compound. I know it might get boring to walk round and round the same spot, but something is better than nothing. Plug in some good music and enjoy the walk. It is the best ever.
Currently we need to keep our immunity under check & strong. What’s better than walking and staying healthy. Best way to boost up that immunity. Plus as the restaurant are shut we have been eating healthy home food which is doing good to our body. Add waking and it will help to burn the calories the right way and help to lose weight.

I have been walking indoors for the past 3 months and have already lost 5kgs and believe me you feel soo good and fresh. Do it now and your body will thank you. It will refresh you and make your day wonderful. All smart phones have health app and you can track your steps on it.

Thank you for your valuable time for visiting and reading my post.
I need to do some more steps , i only have 3000 do you know of @actifit? They post on hive after you k]make a blog in their app
Hey @brittandjosie Actifit doesn't give a clear picture of your walk. I used it in my mobile and easily make it count above 15000 just by shaking my phone in hand...so doubt if that so reliable
Yes please do minimum 4000 a day.. few days push it to 8000 or so. I don’t know actifit.. will surely check them out :)
Glad you are not on Actifit. Your count dos look like to be real unlike Actifit which can calculate a simple movement of you phone. With that app I can easily surpaass 15000 in a single day which is not a true count....your effort towards a healthy life style is appreciated. ....you know what I live in a 5 storey building and I use stairs deliberately 5 times a day..hope that is enough🤨
I use this app pacer .. it is good. I have always been an outdoor runner over gym. It’s the best for your body.
5 floors is good but climb up.. please do not climb down. It is very bad for your knees.
😲 is that so....but then how could I get down🤨...there is not elevator as of now....so using stairs is only way of warming up
When u go down please go slow .. that’s all I can say .. going up and down with intervals is completely fine.. better start going for walks or run 😁
Walking or run is possible only you have good park around..running on tough stuff like road is not so good for knees....

Hi @crazysailor Yes, there are alternatives you can do than going to a gym or on a hiking or biking trail near you where there are others about. You can walk on your sidewalk or street when empty, in your back yard, or just exercise on your floor mat in your home. I have a stationary bike. Also an exercise gym setup in my garage. All safe within my own home.
Nice to meet you and thanks for sharing your tips to stay healthy. Take care, and stay safe.
Hi @justclickindiva .. thank you for adding the additional tips. Working out of the floor mat is nice. Doing stretches & yoga is blissful for mind and soul.
It is a pleasure to connect with you here. Take care. God bless 🙂
