Exercising Through the Pandemic

The folks at Garmin published some interesting data looking at people's exercise habits through the ongoing COVID19 pandemic.

While the decrease in global movement scratches the surface of what’s happening, the advanced metrics in millions of Garmin wearable devices give us a deeper understanding of exactly how people are dealing with the impact of the pandemic on their active lifestyles. We’re observing a remarkable shift in the types of activities people are doing, reflecting an unprecedented about-face when it comes to typical springtime exercise and activity.

Unsurprisingly, we're seeing a marked shift in how people exercise, with a general decrease in daily activity but with a marked increase in sports like yoga or virtual training sessions using apps like Zwift.
