We’ve talked a lot about coping during COVID-19 and getting accustomed to a new shared reality that can feel pretty lonely and paralyzing in many ways – the most obvious one being physical. Committing to a workout routine is now perhaps more important – and doable – than ever. We need to compensate for the fact that our mileage meters are temporarily retired by making a conscious choice to move our bodies. We also really need those endorphins to keep us satisfied and our minds calm and clear. On top of it all, workouts triple as the perfect me-time, while they can be something you involve the whole fam in as well! So, here we are with our Top 10 Free Online Fitness Platforms, and here YOU are with no excuses left not to treat your body right. Get down to it and both your body and your mind will thank you!
