Now that gyms are starting to open back up, its tempting to go back.
However, just because youcando something doesnt necessarily mean youshould.
As things open up, how much risk are you personally willing to take?
Gyms should havedisinfecting wipes and hand sanitizer readily available.
The goal is to circulate in fresh air, Murray says.
As with everything, its important to keep at least six feet of distance from everyone else.
When you are there, will you be using the locker room to change?
What about the showers or the sauna?
Will you should probably use the bathroom?
The more surfaces you touch while you are at the gym, the greater the risk.
Public bathrooms are really something we are all going to think very carefully about, Murray says.
We are all living in athleisure clothes now anyways, Murray says.
Risk isnt an all-or-nothing deal, but a spectrum.
Its also important to remember that, if we arent careful, the gyms will close down anyway.
Opening up will only work if we can keep transmission low, Murray says.
If we can control our transmission, we can potentially stay open through the summer.
