When the government imposed the first lockdown most of us were stuck at home as most offices and businesses were shut down and vehicular movement too was curtailed except for those delivering essential goods and services.
For the first few days most people were happy as they did not have to attend classes or work but as the lockdown kept getting extended the severity of the crisis started hitting them. Along with the anxiety of getting infected with the virus people started to fear for their jobs. And with social media too being flooded with news of rising cases and deaths, life took an unwanted turn. Many of us started getting affected both mentally and physically.
It is during such times that we grasp the importance of being physically and mentally fit which in normal times is locked away somewhere in the depths of our conscience. “Physical fitness is not just crucial for a healthy body but imperative for a healthy mind and emotional wellbeing,” says Prem Lama, a physical fitness instructor at Power House Gym in Chitwan.
