To not leave the house when wfh?

[museumum]

Am I unreasonable to not get outside at this time of year?
I feel like it’s not healthy. But I’m struggling to go for a walk or run in the dark.
what do you do if you wfh and children old enough to take themselves to and from school.

I go out every day for a walk. I really enjoy it. But I live in a leafy area so I can walk up a no car lane to a common or a heath.

That just means you don’t have warm enough clothes. I’ve got a 700 fill goose down puffa, sheepskin lined boots and a warm furry hat, I don’t ever get cold and I’m someone who feels the cold.

You don’t need to go out everyday but you should go out at least once or twice during the week.

Do you exercise at home?

I assume you sit at a screen all day and so I would be going for a walk most days on my lunch break personally.

I’d also feel very cold if I was sat at home all day and so I’d go out for a walk just to appreciate coming back to a cosy home.

I always go out in the daylight, every day. I'd be worried about a slippery slope towards agoraphobia, amongst other things.

What's a walking pad?

I exercise at home so that's covered

There's no time for me to go get lunch or walk, it's a 30 min break and I'm not going out at 7am to wander around in minus temps on ice!

This sounds unhealthy . You need fresh air , you need exercise . I hate being indoors for more than a day . Also I feel that I'm not worn out enough to sleep if I haven't been out and had some air !

I also hate walking for the sake of it. Fine if I'm going exploring somewhere or walking home from the garage etc
Figure a 30 min spin class is better exercise than me grumpily stomping round for 10 mins outside

A small treadmill that goes under the desk, I have one too

I was finding I wasn't leaving the house most days I was wfh. I now do a daily 30 minute walk before breakfast, yes most days I don't want to but generally feel better after.

Wouldn’t be healthy for me. I recognise now when I stop leaving the house it’s because I’ve stopped taking care of myself so I do go out every day when wfh. Lunchtime and usually an evening walk too while dh cooks dinner. Podcast on and pound the pavements.

I have to make sure I get out, usually for a quick walk before work or during lunch. Makes me feel really unmotivated and bleugh if I don’t leave the house all day

I wfh but I have a dog that has 2-3
walks a day which gets me out of the house. I have a few friends who go out of the house for work but drive door to door and mainly sit in one place all day. They are getting out of the house of course, but aren’t getting much more in terms of exercise.

I go out every day without fail, wfh half the time not every day.

If I'm wfh then I go for a walk at lunchtime otherwise I feel all 'wrong' and can't concentrate in the afternoon.
It's usually 20 minute walk, 20 mins to prepare and eat food (just a baked potato or something like that) and maybe 10 minutes tobring washing in or out, depending.
It's not a great idea NOT to leave the house all day, for all I used to think otherwise.

This what I do out for a run around 7:20 home for 7:55 log on at 8, shower at lunchtime.

I work from home, I go for a walk every morning no matter the weather, i get up and go before I talk myself out of it due to the weather. It sets me up for the day

I take my dog out every lunchtime. I need to for my own sanity. Build something into your day even if it's 1/2 hr. You should take regular breaks from a screen if that's how you wfh.

I do the same

I have to say that this would not do me any good at all. I actually feel a bit anxious thinking about it.

yes I need to get out every day. To move a bit.

that way the occasional day when I do stay at home can feel enjoyable.

fine at this time of year. Though I only tend to WFH once or twice a week max, I like to leave the house!

If I could I would never leave the house!

I go for a run at lunchtime. If I didn't like running though, I wouldn't leave the house most weekdays, probably only would on the days the DCs have clubs they need to be driven to.

Never heard of these and just Googled it :) Sounds like a great idea, would you recommend & any brand in particular?

Why not??
i treat an early morning walk as my “commute” if I WFH! or go out after work.
