TAKING up running isn’t so attractive when it’s pissing with rain and freezing, but you’ve never been this fat. So how can you emerge from lockdown healthy?
Joe f**king Wicks
Yes, his famous PE classes are coming back, meaning you can exercise without setting foot outside your living room. Unfortunately, his chirpy demeanour will be unbearable now the novelty’s worn off, and you’ll end up red-faced and breathing raggedly from screaming ‘It’s alright for you with your big living room!’
Ice skating
Not the Dancing On Ice kind, but the routine walk to Tesco that becomes a death-defying slide down an ungritted pavement that you’d better hope you get through without a broken ankle or you’ll spend nine hours in A&E boosting your viral load.
Lift household items
Did you know that lifting pounds of flour or litres of milk can increase your muscle mass? And if you lift them in the right order, you’ll end up with a lovely cake mixture to pop in the oven. Lifting bottles of wine straight to your mouth works too.
Buy a treadmill
There’s only one way to exercise, and that’s throwing money at it. So now gyms are closed get a large, expensive piece of equipment, preferably with a monthly subscription. You’ll only use it once but it’s great for hanging wet washing on.
Crying and rocking
You can burn around 100 calories per day by fidgeting, so if you schedule in an hour’s weeping while rocking back and forth every day then you’ll have toned thighs, strong triceps and absolutely jacked tear ducts by spring.
