For those of you who will be at home during this lockdown, here are some great tips to keep your minds and bodies sharp!<\/p>\n

Build a treehouse for your kids (or yourself?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve always been meaning to, right? But you\u2019ve never had time. Well now you have time. Looooots of time. And it\u2019s something to do with those random bits of 2×4 you\u2019ve got lying around. Just make sure you test it first before getting the little ones up in it\u2026<\/p>\n

Keep lifting<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll want to keep your muscles up right? With the gyms and training areas closed, you\u2019ll need to get creative. So lift everything – the dog, the kids, the couch, whatever you can manage. Just do it properly – you all know the right manual handling lifting techniques right?<\/p>\n

Clean your gear<\/strong><\/p>\n

When\u2019s the last time you gave your gear a proper clean? You probably can\u2019t remember, and again, you probably never had the time. But give it a few days stuck inside with everyone and you\u2019ll be dying to hit the garage and spend hours polishing your work boots.<\/p>\n

Get your brain working<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be pretty easy to let yourself melt into the couch and binge-watch Netflix, but we all know tradies are pretty smart too right? So you\u2019ve got to flex those brain muscles too. Whether you do some online training courses or just do a couple of puzzles or brain-teasers that make you think, get your brain moving every once in a while!<\/p>\n

Eat healthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look, you probably don\u2019t need to do much here. With no fast food, Uber Eats or a quick stop for a pie, you\u2019ll be doing pretty good just eating at home. Maybe have some fun with your meals and check out some new recipes – maybe a new profession is in order! (Jamie Oliver gets paid heaps, right?)<\/p>\n
