(CNN) A keen runner, 73-year-old Rajinder Singh was initially at a loss as to how he was going to keep fit with Britain under lockdown.

Missing his weekly Park Run -- an organized five kilometer run held every Saturday -- necessity proved the mother of invention for Singh as he turned his attention to skipping.

"I'm not an expert but if you do five minute skipping honestly it's like like running three kilometers. Just skipping inside your house or in your garden. You don't even need trainers, just a rope," Singh, who has been dubbed "the skipping Sikh" on social media , told CNN Sport.

Singh has been posting daily videos of his workouts online to encourage others to keep active during the lockdown and skipping isn't his only exercise fix.

He's also been working on his strength and conditioning by lifting heavy watering cans and sprinting through his allotment.
