Fitness during Pandemic

I've inadvertently discovered "Rucking" whilst doing my outdoor exercise. No its nothing to do with rugby but is military inspired by walking with weight in your backpack. Here's a couple of links if you're interested?

So I've slapped on a pair on ankle weights and loaded 4 bricks into a backpack and went out for my walk.
What other money-saving fitness exploits have you all discovered maybe outside of the usual running, jogging and Joe Wicks classes?

The other day when outside with the kids we found a skipping rope in the garden toy box. So I managed to Dona bit of skipping. Not something I would normally do but it was different from just a walk.

If you have stairs, walk them several times a day.

Awesome idea!

I skate, as said in a separate thread.

In Paris there used to be a rollerblade tour of the city where they closed the roads to allow the skaters through.  That was a lot of fun.

Push-ups and pull-ups are still able

Well I googled as to how far a "reasonably fit" person (not a couch potato and not a superfit person) should expect to be able to walk in a day and it seems to boil down to 5-7 miles. That's a distance that pretty much equates to 2 hours walking and so I've used Googlemaps to work out what locations there are out in a circle from my house that come to around 2.5-3 miles and figure on aiming for a 2 hour or so walk daily. Don't always manage it - but I'm conscious that I'm missing out on the exercise involved in my "regular" activities at the moment and it does feel like a little bit of weight has crept back on - though I still had a little bit of weight left to lose.

So - needs must and I don't want my muscles turning to jelly whilst I wait for life to get Back to Normal.

I have just increased what I was always doing, walking, running, cycling and weight training.

I started looking for training videos and I liked some of these videos. I'm learning to dance with the help of online lessons.

Rucking is a new thing for me. Thanks for sharing but I have few questions. I noticed in rucking your back bear the entire weight so do you think fat from other parts of the body could be melted? Actually, when I was in school and holding my bag on back, my back was the thinnest part of the body. That's why this thing came into mind.
