Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – Cycling is a sport that can be done while working from home (FMH) under conditions of large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) as a prevention of spread Covid-19.
Playing sports becomes an important activity during PSBB or WFH. Lack of physical activity and excessive eating patterns can cause diseases in the body, from cholesterol, diabetes, obesity to hypertension and heart disease.
Therefore, cycling that is included in the low-moderate intensity sports category can still be done in the housing complex area.
Before leaving the house on a bicycle, you must ensure that you have a healthy body condition. Furthermore, the call for social distancing also continues to be made as a form of anticipation.

Even safer if we exercise alone we don’t have to make arrangements with friends outside to distance ourselves socially. “said Dr. Andhika Raspati, doctor of the Indonesian cycling team CNNIndonesia.com.

“Similarly with the use of masks. If wearing a bicycle, wearing masks makes us feel uncomfortable breathing, we may not wear masks because it will cause more dangerous effects. As long as social distancing continues to work,” he said.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the US Department of Health and Community Services. USA Or CDC say that wearing masks is more recommended for people who have social interactions. According to Dr. Andhika exercise can be an exception because it can be done alone.
“But remember, even if we don’t wear masks, we should also prioritize social distancing. Keep a safe distance, don’t interact with other people while riding a bike,” he said.

So when doing physical exercise like cycling, hormones and substances that can cause pleasure,” he said.
Working from home also makes the activity more sitting and lying down. This makes the muscles tense at the risk of injury, so we must stay active.
Still, exercise to keep the body active can’t be done for long. Because, exercise that is too long can make the body tire and weaken the immune system so that we can more easily become infected with the disease.
