    I did the same thing here in the Canary Islands after a one hour run. Got a decent workout done -- enough to keep my muscles alive til the gym opens again.
    Aren't y'all allowed an hour daily for exercise or did the last modification of the lockdown eliminate that, FK?
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    We're "allowed" out for exercise but all the machines in the public park have tape around them to stop people using them. So basically I can just run, do chinups on a branch or a gate, pressups, situps, and maybe pick up a big rock or a 5 litre drum of water.

    Here on holidays I'm lifting up the sun lounger bed as a weight, although today I might go for another 1 hour run and use the machines at the park.

    When I get home I might get a sweeping brush and use duct tape and cable ties to attach 5-litre drums of water to it in order to make a barebell for deadlifts, bench and squat. (It won't be very heavy but it's better than nothing).

    Police have caught me violating the Covid laws twice but I don't care. I gave them a good telling off the first two times so they know what to expect next time. Keeping pet shops open while discontinuing AA meetings -- so your dog's fleas are more important than your sister's alcoholism. Cops get a good brow beating from me.

    I know it's considered poor form and impolite to perpetrate a mass shooting, but if I ever did then it would be in a room full of people who make the Covid decisions that affect us all.

    Maybe you can find an old lorry tire or tractor tire and get a sledgehammer and pound away on it some? That's a pretty darn good workout.

    Edit: The cops must be somewhat empathetic if they cut you loose to go about your business? I kind of feel bad for the decent cops. Hired to enforce laws/ordinances that are made up by some dunderheads that are so disconnected from common sense that's it's pathetic. The AA thing is particularly asinine; a support group serves no useful purpose if they can't meet to talk over their common struggles or share their success.

    The main reason why I wouldn't become a cop is that it is very demoralizing to work alongside people who have already being demoralized. Also my superiors would begin to start wondering why all the human traffickers are already dead before backup is called.
