Q: Exercise when pollution is bad?
What do you guys do in terms of physical exercise when the pollution in your city is bad? I think I will have to get an air filter and do exercise from videos online.
Rather watch people doing exercise on TV, it is healthier. If the pollution doesn't get you, the traffic will.

I exercise in a gym. I know the air comes from outside so it probably doesn't make a lot of difference with the tiny particles that get into the lungs but on days when I can see,smell and taste the noxious air it's at least better indoors.
And really, what else is there you can do? I'm not going to give up exercising.
There are lots of exercises you can do at home. I know you are still getting some of the pollution but it is not as bad. I used to jog but the pollution really does get to you. Sit ups, press ups and weights are my main way of exercising now. If you live in an apartment building try walking up and down the stairs a few times. Great for your legs and heart.
