Exercising in Spain

NicolaThomas2020

I'm really really struggling as here in Spain we're not allowed to go outside for a walk without wearing a mask. I tried restarting running doing C25K again but can't wear a mask during the recovery walks.
Just looking to see how every one else is coping.

Sounds obvious but have you tried different masks? I have a u-mask which is shaped to hold it off the face a bit. It’s not ideal but it makes exercising a lot easier.

I have tried a few different ones but thanks for the suggestion.
It's as much trying to get it off and on again.

I have a nintendo switch, and play ring fit adventure, fitness boxing and zumba. This way I can exercise at home without a mask.
If you don't have a console, you can look for videos in youtube, there are lots of them to suit different preferences.

Here in Massachusetts, USA, we don't have to wear a face covering outdoors if we are at least 6 feet away from other people, so I am able to still be maskless for outdoor cardio.

I started off with a KN95 mask and probably due to my chemical sensitivity hated trying to breath through it and am now wearing a cloth mask. (I am not in high risk situations where a medical-grade mask is important.)

Because of bad experiences with the first two types of masks I tried I went with this company, which is more expensive for cloth masks, but I was able to get organic fabric that was not dyed (color = Cream):

Are you able to wear face shields instead of masks? I see a fair amount of store employees wearing face shields.

Face shields on their own are not allowed. You can wear then in addition to your mask, but masks are compulsory.
