Lockdown is difficult for lots of us. Keeping ourselves isolated from the lives we were previously used to, not seeing friends or family members. It’s really hard. How can you keep yourself entertained during this period though? From free trials to taking up new types of exercise, you can use this time to better yourself. 

Get Outdoors

One of the best ways to pass the time and feel entertained is to use the outdoor space you have. As long as you’re social distancing you can head to the park or go on a walk in the countryside. If you’re not comfortable doing that, use the space you have at home. Whether that’s a garden or a balcony. Sit in the sun if the weather allows, enjoy some gardening, stream a podcast, read a good book. Fresh air is underrated. 

Try New Exercising

Maybe you’ve always wanted to take up running or another new form of exercising? This could be the time to pound the pavements. Get your headphones on, play your motivational playlist and pull on your trainers. Start slow with just a jog around the block. Build up to greater distances over time. You can also enjoy bike rides or if you don’t fancy tangling with traffic, get the exercise bike out the shed! 

Online Casinos

If you’re stuck indoors, one of the ways to connect with the outside world is by going online. If you’re a fan of visiting a casino, why not log onto one online instead? There are loads of fantastic games that you know and love available on onlinecasinobet.vip. You can enjoy live casino games too, with the likes of blackjack and roulette available 24 hours a day. Enjoy classic slot games, video slots and different games like Caribbean Stud. There are new changes in the world of online casino all the time so you can be sure of a new and exciting game when you want it. Maybe you usually place a bet on sports events. Without those taking place at the moment, online casinos could be a different way for you to enjoy gambling. You can even enjoy Bingo games, win real money and make new friends with their communities. Be sure that you are playing on a legitimate casino games site so your money is safe

Learn Something New

Use this time to learn something new and entertain yourself in that way. Maybe your holiday has been cancelled, it doesn’t stop you learning the language for when you’re able to travel there! Perhaps you’ve got a guitar in the loft which you haven’t got around to learning properly. Use online lessons, or this free guide from toptubeamplifier.com, and learn some songs so you can be the entertainment for your neighbours. Try and enhance your future career by learning how to code or something which will benefit your job prospects. It might sound like work but it’s actually entertaining!

Binge Watch Boxsets

Settle down and enjoy some of those TV shows that your friends and family have always been going on about. Whether you’ve never seen an episode of Game Of Thrones, or you fancy watching Tiger King, Bridgerton or Gangs Of London, you can stay entertained all day long with great TV. A lot of these online streaming sites give you a free trial. Some of these are a week, others are 30 days. If you look at what they have available and bounce from one free trial to another, you’ll be able to enjoy great TV entertainment without spending a penny.

Why not catch up with Neighbours? It's such a shame it has been cancelled after 37 years!

Stream Online Gigs

Gigs and theatre productions have been cancelled or postponed left, right and centre. The artists and performers have come up with a way to continue to entertain you though. Be streaming gigs and performances online via zoom, Instagram live or YouTube, the bands still play and we’re still entertained. Some of these are taking donations in order to still be able to pay their bills. St back and be entertained by some of the best musicians, actors and comedians in the world!

As you can see, there are lots of ways to stay busy during lockdown. Just because we’re at home we don’t have to feel alone or isolated. Connect with live streamed events, click away on an online casino or pedal that old exercise bike. Maybe you have your favourite ways of passing the time but perhaps you can try something a little bit different during this situation? Find new ways to keep your mind and body entertained and pass the time where otherwise, you might be bored and start getting stressed. Look after yourself and stay entertained!
