Should I Be Afraid of the Gym?
Did you ever notice the people that survive the end of the world movies are those that are really smart or really fit. So I hope you’re one of them. With the rock of the Carona Virus, lots of people are running scared to Costco and stocking up on TP and bottled water. We’ve already had our supply walk out of Fit Club somehow.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) the chances of contracting the virus is between 0.7-3.4%, 56%, 100% recover, while 40% get ill and the carona virus was mentioned on social media 1.1 billion times. So knowing all of this, here’s the precautions taken at Fit Club. We are wiping down all equipment with a special sanitizer and disinfectant that was formulated for this exact virus, 2-3 times a day. Our antimicrobial flooring, which was just professional cleaned and sanitized, gets sprayed 2-3 times a day with the same solution. We’ve stocked up on Lysol wipes and leaving them at the front desk. We tell everyone before they jump into a workout to sanitize their hands with our multiple, professional, sanitary stations. And lastly, our famous High Fives have been reduced to a chicken wing, elbow bump. This is above and beyond the recommendations from the WHO, but we feel its necessary to keep everyone 100% healthy at all times.
For those that are staying home and avoiding all public places, I still want you to keep your conditioning as being fit means you have a strong immune system. In fact, those that exercise regularly use 50% less sick time. So here is your home program, I suggest you do this 4 times a week if you can’t make it to the blue.
You will need to download a tabata timer to your phone and have it set to 30 seconds on and 15 seconds of rest and a total of 18 cycles.
The workouts should take a total of 13 minutes with a 2 min stretch/cool down.
