I think a wonderful thing I can do at least with the limited resources I have right now during the quarantine to remain healthy and happy is to pull up a YouTube video on how to exercise using 5 pound dumbells, go through the routine, and repeat, as much as necessary to build muscle and burn fat. I also can use the staircase, one flight, that is at the private entrance to my apartment to go up and down it about 10 times at a time with music from my iPhone wearing headphones on Spotify, some playlist I put together with my favorite songs, and do this as much as I can when I feel sluggish or out of shape, which is a lot. I can also, which is lucky for me, wait for one of those live yoga classes that my online friend does, as she is a yoga instructor during this lockdown, and occasionally donate to her cause on Venmo. These combined make up all the opportunities I can currently fathom, aside from using my foam roller when I feel muscles tightening up, to maintain a healthy physique when there is a lack of leaving my apartment and going out to the gym. What I used to love to do was go swimming, but that can be a cesspool of germ infestation and we don't want that.

Good thing to get up and move. This confinement is making me nuts. So I've started taking two or three brief walks a day instead of longer ones. Dodge the rain that way too.
Some days the rain is too much to get out 😟
