(SPOT.ph) You probably stayed home for most part of 2020, especially if you’re lucky enough to have flexible work arrangements and never had to go to the office. While this is all great for avoiding the virus, we can’t say the same for our legs and arms that could definitely use some stretching. Fortunately, a number of indoor facilities in Metro Manila—from wall-climbing gyms to skate parks—have reopened their doors; allowing you to sprint, jump, pump your wheels, and dive deep as much as you want. Just don’t forget to take note of some rules, follow health protocols, and you’re good to go.
