After more than two months in quarantine I have seen many people who have complained about gaining a few extra pounds, including me.
Partly it has been good, more has been shared with the family, we have attended more to the hive and some pending repairs have been made to the house.
The counterpart is that there has not been much movement, as it used to be, with all the establishments closed it has not been possible to even walk.
I am fortunate to be living on a farm where work does not stop, but one thing is work and another is to exercise.
I am going to tell you some things that we have done to try to break the monotony of the quarantine and keep a little movement.
We are in a town in Colombia where the bicycle is used a lot and for us its use is more important since the town is 8 kilometers from the house, so the bike is better than going on foot, although many times we have had to walk.
When the children are not at the computer they go out to play since there is plenty of space. The bicycle is the first one they take for their games and that is good since it circulates the blood in their legs and moves all their muscles.
This past weekend we had a visit from my neighbor's children, so we decided to have a friendly game of Voleyball.
Tomorrow is Father's Day so our neighbors will come again, will we have a rematch? This sport moves all your muscles and makes you sweat. Could it be that we lower a little? No, I do not think so.
Where you have children, you have to find a way for them to stretch their legs a little and so we adults move our bodies a little.
At the exit of the farm there is a space that is usually shared by the 4-wheel motorcycles in the town, because of the quarantine it is empty, so we took the children to play with their plastic motorcycles. They were happy to match those brokers haha. They returned tired to the house, a bath and to sleep.
And finally, my dog. Every afternoon I go for a walk and look for a photo with my phone and my dog is always with me.
Sometimes I go out and I think he has not noticed and when he least agrees he is behind me. He never comes forward, it's like he takes care of my back. They also need movement because they have more muscles than we do.

Después de más de dos meses en cuarentena he visto a muchas personas que se han quejado por haber aumentado algunos kilos de más, incluyéndome.
En parte ha sido bueno, se ha compartido más con la familia, hemos atendido más a la colmena y se han hecho algunas reparaciones en la casa que estaban pendientes.
La contra parte es que no se ha tenido mucho movimiento, como se solía hacer, con todos los establecimientos cerrados no se ha podido ni salir a caminar.
Tengo la fortuna de estar viviendo en una granja donde el trabajo no para, pero una cosa es el trabajo y otra es hacer ejercicios.
Les voy a contar algunas cosas que hemos hecho para tratar de romper la monotonía de la cuarentena y mantener un poco de movimiento.
Estamos en un pueblo de Colombia donde se usa mucho la bicicleta y para nosotros es más importante su uso ya que el pueblo queda a 8 kilómetros de la casa, así que es mejor la bici que irse a pié, aunque muchas veces nos ha tocado caminar.
Cuando los niños no están en la computadora salen a jugar ya que hay bastante espacio. La bicicleta es la primera que toman para sus juegos y eso es bueno ya que les hace circular la sangre de las piernas y mueven todos sus músculos.
Este pasado fin de semana tuvimos la visita de los hijos de mi vecina, así que nos animamos a hacer un partido amistoso de Voleyball.
Mañana es el Día del Padre así que vendrán de nuevo nuestros vecinos, tendremos la revancha ?
Este deporte te mueve todos los músculos y te hace sudar. Será que rebajamos un poco ? No, no creo.
Donde se tienen niños hay que buscar la manera de que ellos estiren un poco las piernas y así nosotros los adultos movemos un poco el cuerpo también.
A la salida de la granja hay un espacio que suelen compartir las motos de 4 ruedas del pueblo, por la cuarentena está vacío, así que llevamos a los niños a que jugaran con sus motos de plástico. Se sintieron felices de igualar a esos corredores haha. Regresaron cansados a la casa, un baño y a dormir.
Y por último, mi perro. Todas las tardes salgo a caminar y buscar alguna foto con mi teléfono y mi perro me acompaña siempre.
A veces salgo y creo que él no se ha dado cuenta y cuando menos acuerdo está detrás de mi. El nunca se adelanta, es como si cuidara mi espalda. Ellos también necesitan del movimiento porque tienen más músculos que nosotros.
I am a proud rallier from the @redfishrally by @theterminal.
Movement is so important, thank you for sharing the many ways in which you and your family have kept active.
