How to work out
Many gyms and studios are continuing to offer their classes online, and many of these workouts are free. A quick YouTube search for “free workouts” reveals pages and pages of exercise options.
There are even a few companies out there that will rent out their spin bikes, and provide free workouts with your rental.
Some exercises to try
This might be a great time to start a new activity, but be careful about what you choose. If you have never tried weightlifting, it is a good idea to find a personal trainer to watch your technique over FaceTime. Some less hazardous exercises to try include hatha yoga, pilates, body weight training or zumba.

- Turn on some music and dance for 5 minutes before preparing dinner
- Cleaning the house - set a timer for 10 minutes and quickly tidy one room
- Head out into the yard and prepare your garden by turning the soil over
