]]>According to new research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, elevated levels of physical activity can make the vaccine work better. It is believed that two-and-a-half hours of exercise a week can greatly increase protection against severe COVID.
The study was conducted in South Africa where data from 200,000 vaccinated adults were analyzed.
“The higher the dose of exercise, the greater the protective effect, obviously to an extent,” said Jon Patricios, a professor of sport and exercise medicine at Wits University in Johannesburg who co-authored the study.
Those who completed at least 150 minutes of exercise at moderate intensity per week, with heart rates at around 70-79% of their maximum heart rate while exercising, were shown to have 25% more protection from their vaccination.
Exercise was shown to prevent severe COVID even in those who have not been vaccinated. Those who exercised between 60 and 149 minutes were 1.4 times less likely to have severe cases of infection.

]]>If that’s the case for your gym, you might be feeling a lot of things: frustrated, upset, hopeless, angry. And that’s totally normal. But we’re here to offer a few words of encouragement.
There’s nothing you can do about the COVID situation or how your gym decides to handle it, but you can control your response. So, sure, take a day or two to be upset, but once you’re done with that, try to focus on the positive.
You can still go on walks and runs outside. You can still do at-home workouts. You can still move your body as a way to maintain your health and sanity. Sure, you may have gotten a bit sick of that from the beginning of the pandemic, but, thanks to 2020, you probably already know what works for you as far as non-gym workouts go.
You’ve gotten through it before and you will get through it again. The most important thing is to be kind to yourself. Missing workouts for a while is not a big deal, but maintaining your self-compassion and self-love through a difficult time is.
