Don’t let Covid-19 Interrupt Your Fitness Routine!

Well, that escalated quickly!

As we write this article the number of Covid-19 cases in Australia is increasing rapidly, restrictions on travel have been introduced, and toilet paper has become more valuable than gold.

The World Health Organization and the Australian Government Department of Health have released clear guidelines on preventative measures, hygiene practices and social distancing which will help slow down the spread of the novel coronavirus. These include:

• Covering your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue
• Disposing of tissues properly
• Washing your hands often with soap and water, including before and after eating and after going to the toilet
• Using alcohol-based hand sanitisers
• Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces
• If you are sick, avoiding contact with others and staying more than 1.5 metres away from people
• Cleaning and sanitising frequently used objects such as mobiles, keys and wallets

Gyms and fitness centres have been instructed to close, along with other indoor sporting venues, pubs, clubs, cinemas, casinos and other venues where people gather socially. Restaurants and cafes have been directed to only offer takeaway options, and more restrictions may come into force in the short term.

In these uncertain times it’s becoming increasingly important to find ways to stay mentally and physically healthy while complying with the ever-growing list of restrictions on the activities we can participate in and the places we can safely visit.

Home fitness equipment has always been a convenient option, but now more than ever it makes sense to adapt your fitness routine so you can continue to exercise and protect your health and wellbeing while staying at home.

You may not be completely quarantined or isolated yet, but using sanitised equipment in your own home has always made much more sense than sharing equipment at a gym or fitness facility, where you have no guarantee of how thoroughly or how frequently the exercise equipment has been cleaned. We’re all focused on staying healthy right now, and BeFit Hire is here to help you maintain your exercise regime.
