Yea ! We did such a good job in bringing down the C-19 infection rate, that gyms are opening up

Yep, starting this Tuesday.
Gyms are allowed to open back up here in New Jersey. thumbs up
One has to wear a mask while in the gym and both the machines & the people have to be at least 6 feet apart.

I guess one might say, I'm fairly.... pumped.... about that. grin

I not only miss the many exercise machines, but some of the gym members too.
Some are quite...... motivational. wink

Since I joined in the winter, I never did get to use their large pool.
While it's still summer, I plan to do so, especially on hotter days.

nothing that New Jersey has done to do with covid can be described as a good job . Highest death rate per million in the US by far and its not under control by any measure . But go get pumped up Jimmy .
Yes, it did not start out good at all.
It was one of the first states to deal with it
and a lot less was known then.
We are a very densely populated state, so that
was an additional challenge.

However, it is much more under control now.
Currently the transmission rate is only 0.8.
1.0 is the critical rate. Anything less than 1 shows
that it is on the decline.

I'm going to enjoy going to the gym starting next week,
whether you like that, or not. tongue
Everything 'Nastics said thumbs up

And scroll down to the g
... the graph timeline.

So would I go to the gym?
Not on a dare ... scold I'm staying outdoors joy

OTOH - If a LOT of folks think like I, there's not much to worry about - one will have the place to oneself grin

BTW -
Official Mask Protocol is that they NOT be worn while exercising due inhibiting O2 intake.

One of the people infected lately in NZ got it from a lift , either airborne or off the button
confused ... typing

lol , yeah elevator , new style extreme adventure tourism , dice with death in comfort
I will be wearing a mask, as will anyone who wants to use the gym, or they will be out on their butt.
I will get plenty of oxygen. However, if I feel light headed, I will go outside and take the mask off there.
I will also be wearing rubber surgical gloves. But, not in the pool. grin
idea

Stay outta gyms & elevators scold Get one's exercise walking up stairs dancing
(Kinda a no brainer, if one thinks' bout it!)

Um... I'll be lifting heavy weights there in about 17 different exercises.
Thankfully, that won't be in an elevator.
I get LOTS of aerobic exercise playing softball and also in other activities with a couple of ex-girlfriends.
One of the most cutting edge devices I've seen was in a museum - a circa 1890s hand operated washing machine.

Think 'bout it, y'all!
Wouldn't you Love to have a dollar for every time someone puts a load of clothes in an automatic washer & then uses an exercise gizmo 'til the washer let's 'em know their wash is done?

crazy

cowboy
wot go back to the dark ages washing clothes by hand , next you'll be wanting us to mow our lawns with a non powered push mower
The cutting edge museum piece was Kinda like this ...

... Except it had Two handles so one would get a better workout ... flex

Best lawn mower -

But one Must use it correctly.
Note the yellow thingy on the operator's belt.
That hold the component that keeps one's implement running efficiently - i.e. shaving sharp.
Also - Sharpen only on the Bottom of the blade so it imparts a slight lifting force as it cuts.

I know the model , grim reaper has a few like that .
IBM Corp. acquired a large parcel of land near Rochester, MN for a building site, with considerable unused land for possible future expansion.

They took bids for the contract to keep the unused land mowed.
A gal won the contract with a ridiculously low bid.

She assigned her crew to rotating sections of the parcel throughout Summer.
Her crew ...

Her crew was pleased with their working conditions -
Their end of Summer retirement plan ... Not so much.
