Happy November! I am excited to talk about some gyms reopening again this Fall. With months of home workouts, jump roping, soccer drills, and occasional outdoor gym workouts, some gyms are finally open! Masking required, and reservation systems also in some places. One hour slots are difficult to get the workout in though with also getting used to training with a mask. It is hard to breath enough!

Most everyone abides by the rules, however I see some people with their masks under their noses in order to breath. I don't blame them. It has been found that surfaces actually don't carry the corona virus, but stations for cleaning with paper towels and spray have popped up all over. It is now customary for everyone to wipe down their machines and dumbbells even before and after use! It is probably the cleanest I have ever seen the gym... honestly do weight plates ever get wiped down?

It is a relief to be back.

I hope you stay well and keep exercising, if you value your health you should consider that!
