It seems that most postings of comments about people after the quarantine is that almost everybody is going to get fat. There was one statement that said after the quarantine you will either be a hunk or a chunk. It meant that you could improve your fitness, or become lazy and add pounds to your frame.
For fitness-minded people, the extra time that required the person to be at home meant that there is now more time to work out, or go for a longer run. For individuals that went to the gym to lift weights no longer have to worry about opening or closing times to fit your workout in. They now have all day to work out and can start or end whenever it suits them. For runners, it doesn’t matter when they leave the house, or when they return. If you wanted to increase your mileage for the week this would be the time to do it.
I wondered what the reasoning was behind all the comments about gaining weight. If you are not a hard core fitness person the lack of routine times can work against you. When people have a set routine to follow a work out is scheduled for a certain time period in that routine. The routine of waking up at a set time, going to work for a set number of hours, eating meals at scheduled times, and working out before heading back to bed keeps you on a regular schedule. I know how not having a routine works against you. You can go for a run or lift weights at any time, but the temptation to put it off until later is always present. More times than a person can imagine, putting things off for a later time results in not getting the run or workout in at all.
