DR ◣◢ Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 If Karen walks her poopup for 9 hours is it not physical exercise using a lot of energy? Yes it may be slow consumption of energy but over a long time it becomes a lot of energy. See where I am going here- it is again open to interpretation. A run is different, definitely vigorous but manage your risks. More like a slow sustained movement. Unless Karen is 30kg overweight and breathing like a walrus in heat.
Andrew Steer Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Not really. The dictionary defines it as any physical exercise using a lot of energy. So it excludes Karen walking her Shitzu around the block. I'm not using a mask when running.Don't you dare try tell Karen that... There's a reason they generally don't do loopholes on rules, because 90% of South Africans will abuse it
Jbr Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 the stupidity of that rule though... it is when doing a vigourous effort that you breathe hard enough to be a possible danger to others, not when you walk in the streets.It is absolutely impossible to avoid runners by 3 meters, everytime I walk my baby in her pram some runner comes nearly dying and breathing at my face, so why should I wear a mask if he doesn't ? When I run I at least try to put my mask on when I'm close to other people, that seems to be common sense when you are not a prick but seems most runners just don't give a f*** So either they are mandatory for everyone or not... (I'm talking outdoors, indoors they must be worn, period)

The Ouzo Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 My post said around the block. But if she wants to do it for 9 hours then according to regulations she doesn't need to wear a mask.maybe she is so fat and unfit that it takes her 9 hours to walk around the block, or maybe the block is so big, or maybe its a combination of the 2.Doesnt matter, its Karen, she'll use the time to report the activities of others.
Duane_Bosch Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 OK so this then fits into the guidelines by the WHO. I wonder if the you're a murderer glares will stop. Everyone on here knows what vigorous exercise is. Apart from maybe (insert bitchy comment here)

(I'm talking outdoors, indoors they must be worn, period) The intention from Government is good in the sense that they are at least trying to accommodate people who are doing proper hard training (intervals etc) but in practice I can also not see how it is going to work. The poor Minister of Health who must now draft sensible, logical and enforceable regulations/guidelines in this regard has been set up for failure imo.
DR ◣◢ Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 What are they going to do? Stop you on a trail and check your HRM to see if you are "vigorous" ?

dave303e Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 we can legally run the spruit/delta again which is a win in my books, will definitely wear a mask there though because it is busier than it has even been in the last few years.
Wayne pudding Mol Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 Need a mtb and secure private trails then. I would ideally be spending the next 6 months in the wilderness in my caravan riding gravel roads near nobody and home schooling my kids.you described my life but without a caravan Thank goodness because a caravan in 6 degrees can't be much fun
Duane_Bosch Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 you described my life but without a caravan Thank goodness because a caravan in 6 degrees can't be much funThe only thing a caravan is good for is a bit of kindling for a braai.
Benjamin Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 The only thing a caravan is good for is a bit of kindling for a braai.Easy now. Caravan holidays are the finest thing in the world bar none.
Pure Savage Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 The only thing a caravan is good for is a bit of kindling for a braai.Watch your mouth! That think is LUXURY in Hartenbos! Space for all my bikes and charges, ski stuff and my dirty kit, perfect.
