When it rains, play in the rain,” was some of the best parenting advice I ever got. There are ways to make the best of any circumstance, including this one. We have a unique opportunity here: we can turn the COVID-19 problem into a memorable event in our children’s lives, so that when they’re faced with adversity in the future, they’ll remember fondly how their family came together and made the best of a bad situation, and they’ll be able to do the same.
Here’s a list of things you can do alone or with your family to stay active and involved during the coronavirus outbreak
- Have a good time in the kitchen
Cooking and baking can be relaxing ways to spend time indoors. Are you missing your favourite restaurant dish? Now is an excellent moment to learn how to make your own masterpiece. (If you have children, enlist their assistance!) You might also send an email to the restaurant and ask if they will share their recipe with you. After dinner, how about some ice cream? Here are 6 easy ice cream recipes that don’t require an ice cream maker.
- Play a board game with your friends
Take out all of the board games that have been collecting dust in the back of your closet. What if you don’t have any? Online board games are available, with some even allowing you to play against your own friends or family.
- Take a walk outside (while keeping your distance)
A walk or a bike ride is an apparent option if you are not being ordered to stay inside your home. If you don’t have a family member to accompany you on your walk, schedule a phone call with a friend or relative for that time. Alternatively, try out some new podcasts or music and Jalshamoviez.
- Work up a sweat
You’re unable to go outside? There are a variety of additional ways to stay active. You may find a variety of free workout videos on YouTube or social media, or you can download a workout app. Many of them provide free trials and do not require any special equipment. Darebee is an excellent non-profit and ad-free online exercise resource. Whether you have a gym membership, inquire if they provide internet streaming of exercise courses. If you’re 65 or older and eligible for Medicare, Bolly4u is a free online workout programme with over 200 videos to choose from.
Get some reading done or work on your self-improvement
Visit the webpage of your local library. With your membership, you can download or stream free ebooks, audiobooks, movies, and music from a variety of sources. We offers approximately 50,000 free ebooks, including well-known classics. Perhaps now is the time to pick up a new skill or study a second language.
Conclusion
If you have concerns about your health or aren’t feeling well, call or visit your healthcare provider’s website to find out if you need to be seen in person.
