Day 1 - Social Distancing and Exercise

Hey everyone,

We should all be doing our best to stay healthy and safe during this crisis.  We should continue to exercise because it keeps our muscles and organs healthy but it also keeps our immune system healthy.  If we were to stop exercising we would increase our risk of getting sick.  Exercise also has a positive impact on depression, anxiety, ADHD, relieves stress, improves mood, and helps us sleep better.

We also need to consider that if we go out in public we increase our risk of getting sick.  There are many ways to stay fit without a gym.  There are many exercises that we can do with just our body weight in our homes.  If you do want to go outside to exercise you should do solitary activities like running, walking, riding a bicycle.  Team activities like basketball, soccer, or handball should be avoided.  While doing anything outside or in public you should try to stay 6 feet away from anyone else. 

To help give everyone a kick start I am posing a link to Arnold Schwarzenegger's body weight workout.  Do your best and don't be afraid to modify the workout anyway you see fit!

Stay strong,
