If you’re well, it’s ok to exercise outside alone. You just need to stick to the physical distancing measures. Keep at least one and a half meters between you and the people around you.
Exercising is great for reducing stress and you’ll increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, control weight, boost muscle power and endurance, and reduce risk of developing conditions like heart disease, diabetes and more.
Walking is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health. Just 30 minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. It can also reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers. Unlike some other forms of exercise, walking is free and doesn’t require any special equipment or training.
