It is a really weird time now with covid-19.<\/p>\n
In Sweden we are allowed to be outside but we have to have social distance, wash our hands a lot and stay home when we are sick.<\/p>\n
At the sports center where I spend time in the gym, do Yoga and have massage they have reduced the amount of people attending so we can keep the distance.<\/p>\n
I have cancelled the massage twice since I felt that I was catching a cold. Has happened with Yoga too.<\/p>\n
I have been at the gym and have tried to keep a social distance, wipe off the machines etc before I start using them and wipe off them afterwards.<\/p>\n
At the gym even if we know we have to keep the distance there are still a few who either do not understand what can happen if I do not have a distance of 1.5 m from a person or think that they are undeadily, I do not know but I have not done certain exercises since at one part of the gym it is too many people but my body cannot be destroyed either.<\/p>\n
So how can I get to the gym, having social distance and be able to do all my exercises I need. I realized there is only one thing to do. Get early to the gym.<\/p>\n
Nowadays the gym is open 24h.<\/p>\n
So it was time to give it a try, the alarm went off 5 am and I biked to the gym and was there 5.40 this morning.<\/p>\n
Not a lot of people, less than it usually is at that time, tried this last year when I prepared for my first HIM.<\/p>\n
Started with my hip exercise on the top floor, we were only 2 people there.<\/p>\n
Got down to the bottom floor where I did my triceps exercise – dips, were not a lot of people there either.<\/p>\n
In the area where I have not been lately due to too many people we were only 4 now, big space and I could do my lunges and biceps – dumbbell<\/p>\n
Then it was time again to get back on the top floor and end with core: rolling toe plank and regular plank.<\/p>\n
Hip: top leg, fire hydrant, side kick<\/p>\n
Shoulders: 1kg handlebar forward and back, good exercise for a swimmer<\/p>\n
Foamrolled my calves and then stretched.<\/p>\n
So if u are allowed to get outside a good tip is to get up earlier. It is worth it even if it is going to be some earlier mornings.<\/p>\n
If u do not want to be inside, there are outdoor gyms u might visit.<\/p>\n
Some of my friends who are afraid to be at the gym has invested in equipment at home.<\/p>\n
When I biked back home the city had started to wake up. Passed the outside of the hospital area and saw people walking towards the hospital. They are doing an incredible job.<\/p>\n
I am working from home since beginning of April since they think our peak in the south of Sweden will come in May.<\/p>\n
Felt it would be a good day with gym since I am very tired in my front thighs after the trail run this weekend and needed to rest them before I do intervals tomorrow.<\/p>\n
