How will you be interpreting ‘one form of exercise a day?’

[Yetanotherbloominnamechange]

For me it will be a bike ride - keeps you at a safe distance from others.

Will not be doing any particularly dangerous form of cycling - no mountain biking or anything crazy before people start!

My gyms doing an online session live every day to do at home.

To be fair, it isn’t just @LubyLoo who is saying they’ll be out more than once.

@Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket, why are you allowed two outings? The very firm guidance very clearly states ONE EPISODE PERSON, PER DAY. It’s not hard.

I've been out twice already. Intend to go for a run later plus another long dog walk. Most of it on my own land. Doubt I'll see another living soul.

And before you start frothing - save your rage for the idiots crammed together in the tube today. Bye bye London.

We will walk our dog but not every day. We have a big garden so we will just spend more time out there. We've always been careful not to have walks at set times and have even purposefully skipped days so our dog isn't reliant on walks and doesn't go stir crazy in the house, even though she's a high energy working breed. So thankfully she doesn't need to be taken out three times a day and is quite happy amusing herself in the garden, chasing her toys, and just sniffing around and lying in the sun.

There is plenty you can do to entertain dogs in the house. Get creative.

On your own land is different, @Tonyaster as basically just a big private garden. So long as not communal gardens, of course.

I exercise at home anyway. I think I will give up riding my horse for the time being due to the danger of accidents and needing an ambulance (I fall off at regular intervals, not needed an ambulance so far but you never know). I could still do a walk or run outside as well as the indoor exercise, though I'm waiting to see what will happen about visting the horse, or not.

Dog walk. There's 2 over 70s in this household, 1 with under lying health issues, so they won't be leaving the house.

Yes not sure about the horses. I think no hacking or jumping, but maybe some flat work in the field with an air jacket.

I'm taking my two kids out for a walk and a kick about with a ball in a minute .

No, I'm not special but please tell me if you could go 24 hours with only emptying your bladder and bowels once! I do plenty of canine enrichment with my dog so I'm not taking her out for mental stimulation - purely for her to relieve herself. She will only wee and poo on grass or soft surfaces- not pavement.

My husband and daughter aren't able to walk her at the moment and will be staying inside so I will be doing their walks. Even in Lombardy they are able to take their dogs out several times a day!

If anyone is able to provide a solution that doesn't involve me having urine and excrement in my home then please let me know and I will gladly do.

DH will be going for a run in the mornings; I’ll be going out once a day for a walk locally with DD in the pushchair. On weekends DH will probably skip his run to come for a walk with us instead.

Our gym is doing online classes so I’ll be doing some yoga too.

A run - 5k circuit round the streets where I live. Or I have an exercise bike in the garden now - will alternate.

Exercise bike. Our elderly dog will make do with the garden.

The BHS haven't issued any guidelines yet, they will be at some point this morning @Salene

Our yard has said so far we can ride straight from the field and we have a rota to go and collect our tack and things today. It's a small yard in the middle of nowhere so I rarely see anyone anyway. The liveries will have a rota for visiting and possibly riding.
If we can't ride then my exercise will be walking to the field and just checking horse is ok.
I live on my own and have been working from home for over a week and I'm gutted that I'm now going to be completely isolated for an extend period of time. My horse keeps me sane! I completely appreciate that this is for the best but agree with a pp about whole families being able to go out and do stuff together still.

Sorry, any updated guidelines after the announcement yesterday.

I'm wondering if 'you may go out to exercise once per day' will shift into 'once per day for 30-minutes only' or something in that vein?

Really MissGuernsey ? Every day you are going to walk to work and back, go for a run, and walk to the shop? I am wfh for the foreseeable future (well, at the moment am on the most boring annual leave ever), but if I did need to go to work I would be counting my walk there and back as my daily exercise for that day, and if I wanted to run would be doing that on non-working days.

I have a fridge freezer but the fridge bit is only slight bigger than an under counter one, and I also have no car, but I do not need to shop 5/6 days a week and am not planning to do so. Can you not fill you fridge to the brim and reduce shopping to twice a week? We are supposed to be shopping infrequently, and very much limiting how much time we spend outside and potentially in contact with others. Bending the rules to suit you is going to cost lives.

I did my usual 8am dog walk on the beach this morning. Usually I see a handful of people and their dogs - it's at the end of my road, I've lived here for years, you get to recognise people. But today there were loads of new people there, including a LOT of people who were clearly over 70, plus families sitting on picnic blankets with their children, three separate groups of mums and kids with more than one family walking together without any distance between them (I recognised a couple of them, hence knowing that they were not related).

Usually I would be able to walk for 45 minutes, straight line there and straight line back, not having to move aside for anybody. Today I was dodging people left, right and centre, and actually having to ask people (one set of over-70s and one group of young mums and kids) to stop walking towards me while I was clearly walking away from them, as we need to stay at least 2 metres apart from each other. They looked at me as though I had two heads.

This is why Boris will soon be telling is that we can't have any of the nice things

Oh and a once-per-day dog walk is the only exercise I will be doing until the lockdown is over. Boris' instructions on that were crystal clear. If DH or the DC want to walk the dog too, they are welcome, either with me or at other times of the day, but each of us will only leave the house once per day maximum.

I think it's incase a horse rider has a accident, I heard them discussing it on local radio this morning, any kids of dangerous sports like horse riding and cycling on roads they said people need to not do

I don't understand how horse riding is exercise, I mean it's exercise for the horse but it isn't exercise for the human surely?
if we make allowances for horse riders as we are making allowances for people with very expensive and largely unfeasible hobbies are we not?

You’ve obviously never ridden a horse! DD rides very worked out after just 30 mins trotting, cantering etc. You control the horse and move whilst riding.

don't understand how horse riding is exercise, I mean it's exercise for the horse but it isn't exercise for the human surely?

Heh, have you ever ridden a horse? you need to use muscles to stay on the damned thing.

And before you start frothing - save your rage for the idiots crammed together in the tube today. Bye bye London

@Tonyaster have you thought that some of those "idiots" are essential workers eg NHS or delivery drivers etc ? Twat!
