PART 3: Reflections
How the Pandemic is Changing Our exercise habits by Gretchen Reynolds, is one that elaborates on our exercise habits, about how it has changed post pandemic and things the whole wide world has adapted to since then. Pre Covid, we all had it easy. Go to the gym, follow your gym routine, follow your diet program but once Covid erupted all of it stopped. Everyone had a lot of time on their hands and researching became a big deal. Reading Gretchen Reynolds article, you learn the fact that the word exercise on google search became exceedingly searched. You can tell that everyone was panicking about the fact that they couldn’t get any physical activity in, so everyone was trying to find different means to stay in shape or even get back in shape. With lots of studying people were able to have a better understanding and once everything opened up, they incorporated that into their daily routines. People also changed ways they worked out. They learn’t how certain workouts benefited them better than others and the time duration of workouts they needed. Better nutrition and everything that comes with it. This is all the education that was done by a lot of people to better their lives. Even though all this is progress, it wasn’t a smooth transition for the younger generation post Covid. Based of statistics the older generation were able to smoothly go back to their daily routines post Covid. Being old there is not much to do, so the important of their walking apps is very high and their stepped heavily increased post Covid. What is being said in Gretchen Reynolds article in the New York Times to me is accurate and his opinions has strong evidence behind it making this article one good one to read.

It’s interesting to read about this because I was one of those people who started working out when quarantine first started. Although the way I exercise hasn’t changed, I know people who stopped working out at home and started going back to gyms.
