A member asked:
Now that gyms are opening up and some may require you to wear masks. is it safe to lift weights/cardio while wearing a mask?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mask issues: For most people wearing a mask when doing cardio or strength training shouldn't be a major problem. You might notice a mild decrease in your exercise tolerance. If you have a history of lung or cardiac problems, I would check with your physician before exercising with a mask.
