I’ve been running 6km every day, still taking it easy after the lockdown, will increase gradually as I feel like ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0098u00c2u008a so many people have been writing to me about being able to start a healthier lifestyle during the lockdown, so I guess there are silver linings that we can create for ourselves even when surrounded by the darkest clouds.. remember that even five minutes a day is good enough to start with, and then just see what happens :) #noequipmentneeded . . . For those who want to know, yes I pull down the mask when nobody is around and my footwear are the vibram five fingers with toes cut off! . . #fitnessforever #fun #run #love #keepmoving #neverstop #BeConsistent #BeRegular #workoutwednesday #workouteveryday ðu00c2u009fu00c2u0093· @ankita_earthy
