Getting enough exercise is also important at difficult times, such as the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒大流行). But in areas with stay-at-home orders, exercising outside may not be as simple as it sounds. French officials have banned(禁止) people from taking part in outdoor sports activities between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Michelle Quinn from the US wrote recently about the situation in the San Francisco Bay area. She wrote, “A lot of people went to the parks, playgrounds and beaches…the government had to shut them down. The areas were so crowded, and health officials worried people couldn′t—or wouldn′t—stay 6 feet apart.” Six feet is about two meters.

In some places, going outside for exercise and playing sports on a team were not allowed. So some people began to exercise online. Beth Berglin is from Florida. Before the pandemic, she would have camp-style classes four mornings a week. Later though she couldn′t go out, she stayed active through online exercise classes.

Some fitness companies are changing to meet the new environment. Fitness centers across the United States helped people stay active by offering online exercise classes. Some fitness centers had free classes, some had longer trial periods(试用期), some cut down the price of classes, some offered free products or service. Many of these online exercise classes were made for smaller spaces and did not need any special equipment. One online exercise company named Obe received requests(要求) for children′s classes from parents. So they designed four 10-minute dance and strength(力量) workouts(锻炼) for 10-year-olds and younger.

During the pandemic, getting exercise might be more difficult, but people tried to change their habits and find new ways to exercise in order to keep healthy.
