Tony125 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 3 minutes ago, 1FinickyOne said: Funny question... people are dying... It's not a funny question IMO. People need to be able to exercise to stay in shape and strengthen their immune systems as well as body. Depending where you are can ride multi speed bikes, walk/jog, Body weight exercises (can follow the vids on YouTube) or order weights/bands or TRX style exercise bands from Shopee, Alibaba, Lazada. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well all the funny/comic responses to the OP's question would indicate that a few of us think it was a funny question. Exercise can take a multitude of forms which do not need specialist equipment or locations. Counterpain jumping, AKA making babies is a very good one hence my mask comment.

Wuvu2 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I've been climbing the stairs at my condo. My knees are bad so I walk up the stairs, take the elevator down, then do it again. I've found it a surprisingly pleasing way to get an aerobic workout with a lot less knee pain than I get from walking. I usually swim laps, and now I'll keep doing some stairs even when the pool opens again ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you and your human partner(s), if you have them, can answer such a deeply serious question. ???? although I belive gatherings of more than five are frowned on.

MrJ2U Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Just look up IPTV. They even sell packages online Lazada, Cheap. *Every Pay Per View Event *Every Sport on earth *Thoussnds of live channels. One Price. Trypoint.com has a review of recommended IPTV services and how to install them (Side load) on your Androids Box. Fairly simple and straight forward. You'll need an Android Box. Check shoppee or Ali Express. I've got on mi box S. 4k, works great. $60.00 Top of the line box , Nvidia. $149.00 Good luck.

This is what covid is for most of us, I think, in many different ways.. Something that's open during COVID. There are a lot of activities that don't significantly risk spreading the virus: horse riding, archery, golf (as long as you ride the caddy yourself), rowing (probably not a good idea for BKK) - just wanting to know which ones (and any others) that are open at the moment.

None in the deep-red provinces. Even the parks are closed for walking in, and the pools for swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to stay in one of those 30 story high rise buildings, not only are those stairwells one of the most depressing and solitary places to be but most of the doors were locked and you could never exit to any floors except the lobby or the roof...and it's a long way down.

Credit to you if you can do it... By Thai law every 5th floor fire exit must be unlocked so that people in the fire well have a chance to escape back into the building to try another exit if the stairway below is not passable. It took a lot of complaining to get our condo to conform with the law, but it's insane to lock all the doors. Hundreds of people could get trapped in the stairwell if they can't get all the way down to the ground floor exits. Our building fire stair wells are not horribly unpleasant - there are windows and vents on every floor. With headphones it's a bit stuffy but tollerable . Solitary - YA that's the best part! I've been walking the stairs for weeks with a mask in my pocket but there's never been anyone else in the stairwell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
