The Covid 19 pandemic has troubled the entire world with its aggressive and fast way of spreading. The states of emergency and alert declared by multiple countries, including Romania, have determined major changes in all aspects of life. Banning free movement of any kind and the high number of cases of infection have created unrest and even panic. The people's general health was endangered. Exercise, among many other benefits, releases endorphins and that is why the authors thought that this could improve one's health during the pandemic. This study's objective was to investigate how during the pandemic, exercising for 40 minutes four times per week together with a personalized nutritional plan, can contribute to the improvement of one's health, mainly one's cholesterol and triglycerides values. The study has shown that the training sessions and personalized nutritional plan had a great effect to improve the health by reducing their cholesterol and triglycerides values and their body mass and from a motor point of view on the 56 year old subject, in the sense that there was a decrease in weight 7.14 % higher than in the 30-year-old subject.
