KPT COVID-19 Pearl of the Day: Work Out at Home, Not at the Gym.

Gyms are places where people breathe heavily without face-coverings and that means they are high-risk places likely to be dense with viral aerosols.  Hiking, running, biking, and other outdoor forms of exercise are dramatically less risky than indoor environments where people are sharing the same air.  4 minutes/day of KPT and 30 minutes/day of outdoor exercise will help manage stress and fight against weight gain which is a real problem for many of us who have become more sedentary during the pandemic.  I also recommend a set of dumbbells that can be used to do hundreds of strength and cardio-pulmonary training exercises.  My favorite are the ones from Bowflex that can adjust from 5 to 52.5 lbs. with a flip of a dial.  They can be used to do countless exercises including as an adjunct to enhance the KPT routine (see the video entitled KPT Advanced Workout for more details).
