Keep seeing all this stuff where people are making up their own rules and telling people off! we were even glared at while having a family picnic on a long walk yesterday! Please stop with telling people off when they are within the guidelines.
Here is the current situation, as updated about a week ago.
What are the current rules when it comes to exercise in the UK?
Daily exercise, including walking, running, cycling, tending to an allotment or doing yoga is allowed.
You are allowed to drive somewhere to take your exercise. The guidance says, ‘it is lawful to drive for exercise.’ However, ‘Driving for a prolonged period with only brief exercise’ is also deemed ‘not likely to be reasonable’. The rule of thumb? You’re allowed to drive somewhere to go for a walk or run as long as you spend much more time walking than you do driving.
Exercising more than once per day is likely to be allowed if you have a ‘reasonable excuse’ for needing to leave your home.
You are allowed to sit and take a break from exercise, say, on a bench or sitting down in a park. However, this must be for a short time only and, as before, you must spend markedly more time exercising than resting.
