There’s no rule that says you have to get fit indoors -- even during quarantine. How can you take your workout outside while still practicing social distancing?
. From a fitness standpoint, he says, “an hour on a treadmill is just as good as on the street, but it’s more stimulating outside.”
Exercise is particularly beneficial to young people with ADHD, says Putnam, and going outdoors offers them new options. “For kids who are independent, for kids who aren’t team players, find an independent sport,” he suggests. Sports like running or bicycling allow children to move at their own pace.Ever since humans learned to walk on two legs, they have invented new ways to move with them. Your legs are the key to outside exercise, whether you walk, hike, jog, sprint, climb, or blade.
Interval training can be incorporated into many kinds of exercise. For running or jogging, move at a comfortable pace for five minutes, then hit full speed for one minute, and repeat the cycle throughout your workout. Another way to set intervals is by distance — jog a certain number of city blocks, then sprint one or two. Some athletes pace intervals by following how their body feels. However you time your intervals, be sure to start and end your routine at a slow pace.
Interval training is easy to do on a bicycle, and it’s a thrill! A bike “computer,”an inexpensive device that attaches to your bicycle and tracks mileage and speed, can time the intervals. You can go for maximum speed on a flat surface, but for a real workout, try climbing hills. Don’t try to go fast up a difficult hill — stay in a low gear and concentrate on keeping balance and maintaining your pedaling at a consistent pace.
