3 REASONS TO EXERCISE DURING STAGE 4 LOCKDOWN The lockdown moving on to stage 4 allows for some freedom of exercise between 6am and 9am in a 5km radius from our houses. This was good news for many who had not been out in 35 days and good news for our vitality. What exactly are the health benefits of getting a little bit of exercise a day?
Physical Health
Just 30 mins of cardio a day are good for your blood flow. It keeps your heart healthy and minimises your risk of a stroke or cardiovascular disease. It also helps with burning calories and therefore with weight loss. Combining a cardio workout with a bit of weight training and a healthy diet can aid if you are trying to lose a few kilos. It reduces stress and lowers your blood pressure as well ensuring that you live a long healthy life. It helps build strong bone density which prevents osteoporosis later in life. Antioxidant production increased through exercise. Daily exercise is great for skin health. Skin damage can occur when your body is affected by oxidative stress. This happens when the body’s antioxidant defences cannot repair damage to skin cells by free radicals. Stimulated blood flow can also help with skincare and ageing skin.
Mental Health
We have been facing uncertain times and some people have had to sit in lockdown alone bringing on bouts of depression and anxiety. Endorphines which are the feel-good chemical in the brain are released through regular exercise The amount of norepinephrine in your body is increased. Norepinephrine regulates our body’s response to stress and improves cognitive ability. Exercise strengthens the hippocampus which is part of the brain responsible for memory and learning. It is vital to look after our mental health in a time like this
Better Sleep Exercise regulates circadian rhythm, which tells our bodies when we feel alert and when we need to rest. Sleep in itself has enormous health benefits as well. Just be sure you do not exercise too close to bedtime. It reduces unnecessary fatigue when you want to be focusing your energy on work in the daylight hours. It boosts your energy levels as well. Not only will all of the above be great but it will just be a change of scenery to our four walls. Take along your favourite playlist and take in the beauty that surrounds you.

BACKYARD BIRDING Bored in lockdown? Join other South Africans in a battle to spot the most birds. by Helena Wasserman , Business Insider SA, Apr 13, 2020
More than 1,200 South Africans are taking part in a lockdown challenge to see who can spot the most birds. The frontrunners have identified more than 200 species since the start of the lockdown, with one participant who reported 58 species seen from the balcony of his Amanzimtoti flat. The challenge is hosted by the popular South African birding app, Birdlasser, which is now growing across the world. One way of beating cabin fever during the national lockdown is by embracing your inner ornithologist and taking part in a countrywide bid to identify bird species. So far 1,200 South Africans have joined the popular birding app BirdLasser’s South African Lockdown Challenge to see who can spot the most individual species during the national lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19. Most participants are reporting from suburban gardens, and there are also a significant number who spot birds from their flats. One participant in Amanzimtoti has, to date, identified 58 species from his apartment balcony. The latest top count from a garden is 134, from a participant near Polokwane, using a scope from on top of his roof. The frontrunners – who are mostly based on farms or nature reserves – have spotted more than 200 species each – with Manyoni Private Game Reserve near Hluhluwe in KwaZulu-Natal, boasting six of the top 10 spots. No prizes for guessing which species currenly tops the most-spotted list: it’s the noisy and much-derided hadeda, with more than 1,800 sightings, according to BirdLasser data. Johannesburg-based mobile developer Henk Nel started BirdLasser along with a former client, chartered accountant Will Harris, in 2014. After Nel was retrenched from an American company in SA, he shared his idea to build BirdLasser with Harris, and they created an app to log bird sightings.
From the start, they wanted an app “for Africa by Africans”, Nel says. This means, primarily, that the app is free and does not use much data – unlike other international apps, which feature pictures and other data components which make it uneconomical for African users. You can even use BirdLasser without a SIM card and in airplane mode. Your data is backed up to the cloud once you open the app while connected to wifi. So far, more than 14 million bird sightings have been logged on Birdlasser, and the app is growing fast outside of Southern Africa – particularly in Nigeria, Tanzania and Kenya – as well as in India – and now also in Europe and Australia, Nel says. According to Harris, BirdLasser is now the second biggest collector of birding data in the world. “It is the only major engine that collects bird data at geo-located level of accuracy – this is technically hard, and very important for conservationists,” says Harris. Every bird sighting on Birdlasser has GPS co-ordinates attached to it. (The app’s name comes from “bird” and “atlassing”, which is a specific protocol used by scientists to record data sightings.) BirdLasser is also compatible with the massive American birding app eBird – sightings on BirdLasser can be uploaded to eBird. The BirdLasser data goes, for free, to conservation projects like BirdLife South Africa, the Southern African Bird Atlas Project 2, as well as other bodies across the world. Birds are the greatest indicators of the state of nature, and correctly recorded sightings (via GPS) provide hugely valuable conservation information, says Harris. While in lockdown, you can also contribute to a bird census which is currently run by University of Cape Town PhD student Jessleena Suri, who is studying bird populations in urban areas in South Africa. As part of the study, she is asking South Africans to note which birds they spotted in their gardens during a period of ten minutes, preferable at least once a week, between dawn and around 10:00. To take part email jessleena.suri@gmail.com.
