OREANDA-NEWS  Residents of the UK who faced a drop in fitness levels during the coronavirus quarantine now suffer from a fear of exercise. This is reported by the Daily Mail with reference to representatives of the gymnasium administration. 

As visitors of fitness clubs admitted due to the coronavirus, many of the training regimes were disrupted so almost half of the people surveyed who were actively involved in sports before the pandemic are now depressed and suffer from a lack of motivation and lack of self-confidence. 

At the same time, every fourth Briton surveyed admitted that he had gained weight since the introduction of the first lockdown. On average, the weight of people has increased by 4 kg.

“Now society is opening up again, people want to go back to the old daily routine but, having lost morale and motivation, they are struggling to find a way to fitness”, - says a representative of one of the fitness clubs.

People between the ages of 25 and 34 have the most difficulty returning to regular exercise. About 60 percent of them are unable to return to pre-pandemic activity levels.

Women were more susceptible to "fitness depression", more than a third (34 percent) of the UK residents said they began to feel less healthy due to the arrival of the pandemic. Among men, this figure is 26 percent. ■
