If your local cycleway, footpath or ocean walk feels busier than usual, you aren't going crazy.New data from exercise app Strava shows a jump in exercise in the two weeks after Newcastle went into lockdown.
That compares to a 20 per cent increase in rides, 23 per cent rise in walks, and a 9 per cent jump in runs nationally in the same time period.Inspired by her son Dane's mountain bike skills, Lee Upton purchased a bike and hit the dirt."Having the three kids at home, home-schooling can be hard and if you don't get out of the house we tend to go a bit stir crazy and just being on top of each other, they can be a bit frustrated.
"It feels really good because you know you're able to actually get out and do something rather than just sitting in a chair all day or on a computer."A walk along the Newcastle foreshore with a friend has become a daily ritual for Raquelle.
That’s one way to look at the rise in exercise. However, another view would be that Australians work longer hours and are more ‘time poor’ each year. Couple that with rising house prices, huge debts and almost no pay rise for the last decade then it all becomes clearer
Dear ABC, you have become a cesspit of wokery and I can’t bare to watch you anymore. Calling protesters far right because they don’t want an experimental poison injected into them… is obscene.
What the hell is this crap?
People complain to much your alive. Your not being bombed shot at fleeing crap countries, you have internet tv cars and food on a table and bed to sleep in. Fair dinkum people.
Controversial but, as a Novocastrian, out of work for all but 4 of the last 18 months, I have to say that if you are going to be locked down, Newcastle would be one of the best places in the country to do it. Pretty much everything you could want is in the LGA and accessible.
Literally the biggest load of bullshit I have ever seen, acting as if privileged wfh ppl speak for the majority who are actually suffering. Twitter blocks covid misinformation. This should be blocked and the page suspended.
Literally just vomited in my mouth reading that
What a ridiculous story !!!
This headline is some diabolical click bait.
Slap on the face of million Aussied struggling with mental health because of lockdown. I feel that only TaliDan is th happiest person on Earth right now.
ABC is losing their mind...
No. Ridiculous.
And we pay this sh*t at the ABC! I want a refund please. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
We pay our taxes for this absolute rubbish
Wtf is this bullshit?
It’s going to be a no from me
Uh
My favourite one is Kirsten whose business is currently closed but she’s having a lovely time during lockdown. Doesn’t ring quite true.
No. No no no no no no noooooooope. No! No fricken way!
Just stop it.
No
Why is the ABC so in love with lockdown!!
Stop
This reeks of privilege. Many people, especially essential workers and the socioeconomically disadvantaged are drained and don't have the capacity to 'enjoy' these HUGELY LIMITING 'FrEeDoMs' And the idea of exercise hours was not to have any social interaction on the side 🙄
No. I can’t see my family and am missing my Godfathers funeral today. You folks are not right in the head - stop it with these shithouse articles.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
if you ignore the rise in households lacking nutrition due to poverty and insane number of people seeking therapy and psychiatric medication and focus almost exclusively on a bunch of people riding around on bikes sure you could write and get paid for an article that says this
This is ABC's way of lifting our Spirits?
don't be a sausage
No, just fucking No
Yeah uh
Physically I’m healthier cause it’s the only part of my health I can control right now. And knowing I’m acheiving something make this 18month not feel wasted. But this is not making me overall healthier
Have you got Dan’s team writing your tweets for you PRguy, is that you
Is this article actually trying to promote/identify health benefits of lockdowns?
Betteridge’s law of headlines
Australia is in love with lockdowns. What is wrong with this country?
Please tell me this is a joke?
No complaints from the canine community.
Probably not overall. For some, yes, for others no.
I think most people are rolling out of bed and doing much of nothing all day
Newcastle the welfare city!!!!
