Coronavirus Edition 1.

So I have been looking at a lot of stuff lately about how to workout at home and stay fit and healthy during this Coronavirus quarantine and pandemic.  I don’t have big answers.  What I do have are some links to things that might help you maintain your health and fitness during these times.  Implement an idea or two if they fit your life, and stay safe everyone.

Movements you can do with a band if you have one.  If you don’t have bands they are rather affordable and available through sites such as Elitefts.com.  These are rather hardcore bands, not the super easy ones you might be familiar with for an aerobics class.  https://www.elitefts.com/education/band-exercises-at-home/
