Gym reopening: the new rules for gym workouts, from doctors and fitness experts
Gyms are reopening this weekend and I hope everyone is as excited as I am. As much as we get used to doing the best home workout in our home gyms, it is good to be back in the gym, mainly because in one way or another, you will always be restricted at home. Deadlifts are best performed at the gym, not to mention barbell squats.
Things are going to be different when the gyms reopen, however. The 'new normal', as people like to call it, will involve cleaning machines more often and keeping your distance from others, and gym-director Chris Williams recommends being careful too. And careful you should be as the coronavirus can exist on surfaces for up to nine days as research suggests.
Bringing your own supplies is also recommended: keep your gym clothes and workout shoes separately in your gym bag and make sure you bring your own gym water bottle and avoid using the communal water fountains. Wearing gym gloves is also recommended as it makes you less likely you'll accidentally touch your face.
To get a better understanding of what is to be expected when we gloriously return to the church of iron this weekend, we asked doctors and fitness expert to share their best advice on the situation
