Mask/gloves/hand sanitizer. Wipe all groceries down with disinfectant upon entering the home. Don't be in denial about Coronavirus. Because you will wind up on a respirator while I'm in my cellar on the weight bench. While you're struggling for one more breath I'll be struggling for one more rep.
I’m seriously so sorry too hear about this. How did the infection start and what’s your prognosis?
Funk, I am sending Mr. Vince Goodrum, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, to your home for a fully body massage with oil and scented candles.You deserve a break and to relax.
it was the strangest thing i was training at a commercial gym, my strength levels were their highest in 4 or 5 years {67 at the time] ijust finished off a long workout on a friday. did 20 minutes on both a treadmill and bike to cap it. went home swam a mile like i do every day in the summer after i was done i got the shakes lasted for hours thought i was shaking my joints lose. i went to the emergency room and started my journey on the medical merry go round. started june 25 and i just got out of the hospital saturday with the heart valve.
true, i trained at home for most of 50 plus years and only recently joined a gym, which might have lead to the worst year of my life. starting june 25, i haven't been able to train and have all kind of new incisions all over me. i'm months and maybe years away from feeling normal again if i survive the latest set backs. i'm not asking for pity, i could care less what a bunch of strangers think or feel about me, saying this with apologies to the good guys on here. i'm just saying maybe a commercial gym isn't the way to go for lifetime fitness.
Damn!! That’s scary. If it didn’t come on so quick I was going to say staph but it sounds like it came on quick
Sorry to read about your tragic health over the past year. No pity, just knowing that "There, for the grace of God, go I". Hope you are on the mend now. Why do you believe joining a commercial gym had something to do with these health issues?
It’s funny, after I wrote this my wife and myself went to grocery store (Ralph’s in my area) and really started observing how people act in the stores and observing the cleanliness of the stores. Floors are clean but not sure of their cleaning schedules (2, 3, 4x per day🤷♂️) then going to the freezer section, seeing how many people open and close the freezer doors, how often do people pick up a product, look at the label then put it back, is many adults, kids and children put their hands on the outside of the freezer or refrigerated section of say the meat section. I’m sure we can all add to this but I think you see what I’m saying. Gym are full of germs, no doubt but their much more manageable to keep clean than a store.
Are you saying we should close the grocery stores?
No, can’t remember which reporter it was that actually suggested that. Just saying stores are dirtier than most gyms
Okay, I don't understand the point you're trying to make. I guess grocery stores are dirtier than gyms?
IMO, yes
Got it. I'll ensure extra precautions while shopping.
Gyms being dirty is not the problem.
I want to try to just get stumps and logs to chop wood, etc - in the time being. I already to the sandbags, rucks, etc
You could get a job in construction and get paid to train.
Twaddle do you know how many hands touch a loaf of bread before it’s even put on the shelf?I get it that a gym and a grocery store are 2 completely different environments BUT at a gym we are aware of how contaminated everything is. Items are constantly being touched and cleaned.Consider that EVERYONE goes to the grocery store and they are not being constantly cleaned up after.Up until recently you’ve probably never seen shelves or refrigerated areas cleaned regularly. Likewise you’ve probably never properly cleaned everything packaged item you’ve brought home.A supermarket is as much a Petri dish as a gym is.
Okay, what is your point? That we should close supermarkets?
