 The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many people to limit their physical activities due to social distancing measures. Despite this, some individuals have taken advantage of the situation and increased their exercise routines. This study examined the effects of the pandemic on exercise habits in Indonesia. It found that almost half of those surveyed increased the intensity and frequency of their workouts, while one third reported no changes. Additionally, one fifth of respondents who had never exercised prior to the pandemic began doing so. The results suggest that the pandemic may have had a positive impact on exercise habits, with people taking advantage of the opportunity to stay fit and healthy. Nevertheless, it is important to maintain proper hygiene protocols to avoid further spread of the virus. This article was authored by Maria Uniticido-Hang and Machamed Wahewgani.
