Coronavirus and exercising

[Jg848]

Should my 14 year old start exercising in the morning amid the coronavirus our break because I got told there was a age limit for who can go out by a friend of mine

If theres an age limit I'm.unaware...

Dd1 13 has gone out for a walk etc

Thank you

There is nothing in law about the age of who can go out for exercise.

Your friend is an unreliable source of information.

Of course there's no age limit. God, people are making up weirder and weirder things.

Get your information on what's allowed and advised directly from a reputable news site, the NHS or the government; social media and the public are awash with fantasy and insanity at the moment.

Of course there is no age limit

Daily exercise is good. You don't have to go out to do it if you don't want to. Lots of sources and support online

One thing to bear in mind, is your 14 year old going to use this as an excuse to meet up with friends? I went for a walk yesterday evening and saw a group of four teenagers who were together, not practising social distancing and I would extremely surprised if they were from the same household. Other than that, fresh air and exercise is beneficial and to be encouraged.

Ask this idiot friend to link to their source of information on age limits.

Wowfudge Yeah il have to check with him to make sure he’s not using this as an excuse to see friends if he wants to see friends he can use the bloody PlayStation to talk to them

Very true Bruce really needs to check his facts

just look on gov. uk for the rules. no where else.

and if your kid is out socialising with his mates - lock him down for being a selfish and dangerous little shit.

Nothing wrong with a 14 year old exercising on their own.

It shouldn't be an excuse to socialise, but 14 is plenty old enough to manage a bit of personal space in public and not need supervision.

Mencken il make sure and I will “lock the selfish and dangerous shit down” if he fesses up to going to socialise little arsehole
