COVID-19 and Gyms: Is It Safe to Go Back There?

How important is it to go to the gym?

Of course, you can do your workouts outdoors or at home, but you lose your motivation over time. When you go to the gym you see other people work hard for their goals and this can increase your motivation levels. In fact, you should realize how important is to go to the gym regularly and what benefits it has in the long run. Moreover, it has been proven that gym exercises can improve your mental health and increase the level of happiness. 

According to Nikita Desai, MD, a pulmonologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, “squashing the spread of the disease is imperative, but people also need to take care of their mental and physical health, and fitness is a big part of that.” 

“It’s really about doing everything you can to reduce risk, knowing the risk can never be completely eliminated,” Michael A Ben-Aderet, MD, associate medical director of Hospital Epidemiology at Cedar-Sinai added.
