Before Covid and lockdown, I’d have a 15-minute walk from the car park to the office and my desk. At the end of the day, I’d do the same.
During the first lockdown, when we were permitted, I tried to do the same each day – I worked 0ut a few routes from the front door, around the village, and back again. I’d do this twice a day, thus ensuring I got at least the same amount of fresh air (possibly fresher as I was in/near the countryside as opposed to inner-city Coventry). As it turned out, the route was longer so I was actually doing more than I would normally.
So, here we are, some 2 and a half years on from that first lockdown, and I find myself doing far less when I can go further and do more than when we were told there was a maximum of 1 hour per day outside for exercise.
