Question: How can I stay active while home during COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Be Active during COVID-19
section_headers: So how do I stay safe while exercising in COVID-19?
section_content: Do not exercise if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing. Stay
home and rest, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the
directions of your local health authority.
If you are able to go for a walk or bicycle ride always practice
physical distancing and wash your hands with water and soap before you leave,
when you get to where you are going, and as soon as you get home. If water and
soap are not immediately available, use alcohol-based hand rub.
If you go to a park or public open space to walk, run or exercise always
practice physical distancing and wash your hands with water and soap, before
you leave, when you get to where you are going, and as soon as you get home.
If water and soap are not immediately available, use alcohol-based hand rub.
Follow the directions of your local health authority in regards to any
restrictions on the number of people with you and/or restrictions on the use
of public outdoor play or exercise equipment.
If you are not regularly active start slowly and with low intensity
activities , like walking and low impact exercises. Start with shorter
amounts, like 5-10 minutes, and gradually build up to 30 minutes or more
continuously over a few weeks. It is better and safer to be active for short
periods more frequently than to try and be active for long periods when you
are not used to it.
Choose the right activity so that you reduce the risk of injury and that
you enjoy the activity. Choose the right intensity according to your health
status and fitness level. You should be able to breath comfortably and hold a
conversation while you do light- and moderate-intensity physical activity.

page_title: Q&A: Be Active during COVID-19
section_headers: How do I stay active in and around the home?
section_content: Try and reduce long periods of time spent sitting , whether for work,
studying, watching TV, reading, or using social media or playing games using
screens. Reduce sitting for long periods by taking short 3-5 minute breaks
every 20-30 minutes. Simply stand up and stretch or even better, take a walk
around the house, up and down the stairs, or into the garden. By just moving
around and stretching you can improve your health and wellbeing. For more
ideas and illustrations of healthy stretches see
here.
Set up a regular routine to be active every day , by planning a physical
activity or exercise break either by yourself, by joining an online class, or
by setting up a time to be active online with your friends or colleagues.
Making a specific time to be active helps ensure you get your daily physical
activity. Put the time in your diary, and it will help remind you. Stick with
it, as this will help you build a regular routine, and help you adjust to new
ways of working, study and family life under COVID-19 restrictions
Be active with your family and friends , **** connecting with others
can help you and your family in the home and elsewhere spend time together and
be active. Planning time to be active with your children with active games at
home, walks in the parks, or cycling can be a way the whole family can relax,
be together and be active and healthy whilst at home.
Set yourself and your family Be Active goals, by choosing a specific type
of activity, time of day and/or number of minutes you will do every day. Get
each family member to choose their own goal which sets a bit of a challenge
but is realistic with help from family or friends and motivation. Record your
progress on a weekly activity chart and, if you think it would help, reward
yourself with something you value.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Be Active during COVID-19
section_headers: Why do we need it?
section_content: Regular physical activity benefits both the body and mind. It can reduce high
blood pressure, help manage weight and reduce the risk of heart disease,
stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers. It also improves bone and muscle
strength and increases balance, flexibility and fitness. For older people,
activities that improve balance help to prevent falls and injuries. For
children, regular physical activity helps support healthy growth and
development and reduce the risk of disease in later life, and through regular
activity, children can develop fundamental movement skills and build social
relationships.
Regular physical activity also improves mental health and can reduce the risk
of depression, cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia - and improve
overall feelings of wellbeing.
