New Delhi: For many people, the lockdown brought in a lot of disruption to a carefully crafted routine to go about the day and get everything done. One consistent feature for many was going to the gym, which due to the lockdown has been shut and off the daily routine.

While many gymgoers are just waiting for the lockdown to end so that they can hit the gym, some experts say that going back to the same routine may not be an option. While the lockdown is due to get lifted on May 3, the risk of the virus remains as it doesn’t have a cure or vaccine yet.

According to some reports, precautionary measures and social distancing must continue as the actual prevalence of the virus is still unknown.
