Exercising outdoors? Baby, itโs cold outside
Dr. Sunil Joshi with the Duval County Medical Society is glad to see people are still exercising. โYour mental and physical health during this pandemic, and now with colder weather, is very, very important,โ Dr. Joshi said. Dr. Joshi says because viruses do better with less humidity, they tend to spread more quickly during winter months. โWhen youโre waking up in the morning and itโs 29 degrees, this is not the best time of day to be exercising,โ Dr. Joshi said. โAlmost like wearing a mask,โ Dr. Joshi said.
