Here are the 5 things that I am currently doing to prevent me from getting bored during this coronavirus lockdown.
I have also went ahead and ordered a lot of the products that you see below from Amazon!
I think you can figure out why!
Thanks Coronavirus!
Sarcasm!
Better safe than sorry!
Do not take unnecessary risks unless you absolutely have to!
That is my motto!
For me, it is just going to the grocery store and I make sure I have Lysol wipes with me to wipe off my cart, my hands, and everything I touch!
P.S. I am thinking about starting to do the preorder grocery shopping and just have my groceries delivered or pick them up curbside to reduce my coronavirus risk even further!
Anyhow;
Let’s dive in here and see my tips for anti lockdown coronavirus boredom.
1. Coolest Video Game Consoles To Fight Boredom During The Coronavirus Lockdown
Truthfully, I have not had a video game console in years. I love video games and PlayStation was always my go to video game system but I was always busy working on my business or just working in general in my free time. Enter the cov-19 coronavirus lockdown and everything is closed, and I cannot work on my business at all times.
I need to have some fun
So, enter my new ps4 gaming system.
I know it’s been around forever but it is new to me damnt!
Lol! Blame my new fascination with gaming, and my new ps4 on boredom, and this coronavirus lockdown.
Anyhow;
Yep, I decided to buy the slim ps4 bundle with Madden 2020 and 3 other ps4 video games to keep me from getting bored during the coronavirus lockdown.
Truth be told, I was thinking about buying another play station gaming system before this coronavirus lockdown.
This just sealed the deal so to speak.
Anyhow; the ps4 games I bought are Mortal Kombat 11 pictured below.
Street fighter 5 champion edition which was released in Feb of 2020.
I always loved me some fighting games and I am old I grew up on street fighter and mortal Kombat:)
Need for speed heat – I used to play need for speed back in the day [ Loved it ] This game is new, and has gotten rave reviews.
So, I am really going to enjoy playing this one during this coronavirus lockdown period and well into the future.
Having some good games and a gaming system like the ps4 is a good way to keep from being bored during the coronavirus lockdown.
2. The Best Workout Equipment To Fight Boredom During The Coronavirus Lockdown
I love to workout, and I usually go to the gym, but all the gyms are closed during this coronavirus lockdown.
working out not only makes you look and feel a lot better.
Working out also curb depression and boredom.
Working out is of utmost importance when you are locked in your house suffering from boredom because of the coronavirus lockdown.
So, I have to workout at home, as do you.
But, the good news is you do not have to gain 30 lbs during the coronavirus lockdown you can workout at home.
I have 50 lb dumbells I do curls with. Yes, I am a beast! Applause later;)
I also have a workout bench and a tower 200 door gym.
Which I absolutely love b.t.w!
I also have;
A Chuck Norris total gym! Hey, if it is good enough for Chuck Norris, it is definitely good enough for us!
Chuck Norris kicks ass and takes numbers.
I know you have seen those Chuck Norris memes on Facebook!
Chuck Norris rocks, and so does his easy to use Total gym!
I also have a pullup bar on a door going to my garage.
The two things that I am lacking are an elliptical machine and a treadmill for home gym use.
Which are on my to do list due to the coronavirus lockdown.
I usually do my cardio at the gym, but because of the current Worlds climate, I am trying to get outside as much as possible walking, running, etc…
Gotta get my cardio in somehow!
While practicing social distancing in the process!
So, whatever workout equipment that is right for you!
Just do a search below, and see if you can find some gym equipment, to keep you in shape, keep your sanity, and keep you from getting bored during this coronavirus lockdown.
Remember!
This coronavirus lockdown will not last forever, so you may as well make the best of this temporary lockdown, and get in shape, or stay in shape from the comfort of your own home.
With your existing at home gym equipment or some new workout equipment.
P.S. You can also do yoga from home or watch free YouTube video’s and get a pretty good workout from home as well.
