A growing number of people are complaining about lack of exercise options in lockdown, and many apartment residents who bought running machines for home use received noise complaints from their neighbors.
According to the National Health Insurance Service, 39 percent of Koreans who had their annual health checkups last year were obese, up 0.66 percentage points from the year before.
Experts recommend setting realistic exercise targets to stay fit during the coronavirus epidemic. For example, aerobic exercises like running, swimming and bicycling are good options to lose weight, but they may not be an option in lockdown.
Instead, Park Se-jung at the Korea Institute of Sport Science recommended rope jumping or jumping jacks, which can be done alone in a small corner in a neighborhood park or similar space.
