Thanks for home exercise tips. Covid is still with us! I’m 84, have a chronic lung disease. Almost all the advice following yours said go to a gym , church program, etc. do one of these advice givers worry about breathing deeply, unmasked in a room with a group doing same? I know I would do better in a class as I always did pre-Covid, but now I’m trying to figure out a risk/benefit. Any advise?

Like you, I have not been back to the health club, nor do I think it will happen soon. I will be looking for a facility that operates classes in a wide-open gymnasium type place with high ceilings, plenty of room for spacing & good air flow. Unfortunately, with the high value of real estate here, those places have been replaced by smaller clubs, with tiny low-ceiling "studios" for classes.
