If you had an exercise routine before COVID-19, there’s a strong probability it’s changed – or maybe even stopped altogether. Don’t be discouraged! Talented fitness trainers, physical therapists and wellness specialists haven’t stopped what they do so well. They’re still looking to help us stay healthy and engaged with each other, virtually. This is the time to try a new routine, to think more deeply about your goals, or just to have fun in an online group of like-minded people. We’ve created a list of resources to help you stay on track and motivated, peaceful and energized – no face coverings required!
