Believe women.

Why is there such an emphasis on opening "fitness centers" up? Are people really suffering from not being able to go to the gym?

Iowa is partially re-opening on May 1st, gyms and malls can open at 50% capacity, but no food court seating.

The gym is a lot of people’s number one hobby and stress relief. It’s stupid to open it but I can see why stupid people would want them open.

The amount of people I've seen out jogging past my place is HUGE, including those in groups. I don't know if it's stress, boredom, an excuse to be outside, but everyone is marathon runner now.

Also, why in gods name do you want to go to an enclosed space where people are sweating, breathing more forcibly than normal, and likely touching a lot of surfaces?

In the pre-COVID days, I had been on such a great roll with Orangetheory but now I'm thinking about buying a bench and some free weights and maybe a TRX system until we have a vaccine or treatment because yikes otherwise. My studio was absolutely great about having people wipe down their equipment between each usage, but even still. Until then, I'll be a runner on low-traffic streets, at least until DC's summer humidity comes roaring out to gently caress us.

Also, Washington DC is expecting some businesses to reopen in summer, with recovery in the fall, and a "new normal" to develop by spring/summer 2021.

I spent probably 15-20 hours per week at the gym before they all closed, and am very much looking forward to when they are open again, but even if I could go tomorrow I wouldn't. I've gained 15 pounds being stuck inside without being able to cycle, and I don't have enough room in my apartment for any exercise equipment. These people are insane.

Republicanism is now a lifestyle. It’s a combination of FYGM and “rugged individualism” with a splash of “follow the leader/party line”.

Anyone or anything that conflicts with that is an attack on their “lifestyle choice.” But they’ll stand there in complete PPE denying the existence of COVID-19 in complete cognitive dissonance.

You can’t reason with people who believe themselves to be acting rationally but under an irrational premise.

Which also doesn’t say anything good about the rest of the country that requires their cooperation to function.

It's rather eye opening how many people are spending $100s/mo on black market hormone therapy but didn't pop for a home weight bench.

I had to use vaseline to take my wedding ring off last night, because my fingers have turned into fat sausages and it was feeling too tight. I weigh more right now than I ever have in my life. Can barely button up a pair of jeans.

I used to walk about 1.5-2 miles per day while working but now my sole bit of daily exercise is taking our dog on a 15-minute walk.

Our apartment complex had a small fitness room (as well as a pool) and both are closed indefinitely. I'd imagine that a lot of people in a similar situation didn't have much in the way of personal fitness equipment at home for that kind of reason.

This.

Frank gets two miles a day out of me and it might eat up 90 minutes of my day altogether. Although I have precisely gently caress all to do with my time besides walk him and grow my closet weeds.

I'm not even remotely eating healthy and I'm still holding the same weight I was at new years.
