Stay Fit With Us!

Keeping active at home.

I consider myself a fitness enthusiast. With so many outdoor experiences to choose from here in South Florida, I wasn’t concerned about ever running out of options.
 
Then came the coronavirus pandemic, and those options dwindled drastically.

In Palm Beach County, all boat ramps and marinas are closed to recreational boaters. Public and private golf courses are also closed, as are all Palm Beach city and county parks.
 
Thankfully, one of my favorite activities is still possible: taking my granddaughter out for walks around the neighborhood. But if you’re looking for something else to do to stay fit that is in line with social distancing mandates, here are a few FREE ideas:

• The YMCA of South Palm Beach has partnered with YMCA 360, Myzone and MOSSA MOVES to provide virtual Y Fitness programs. Y members can now register for free and enjoy digital on-demand programs. If you’re not a member, there is also a selection of free workout videos to choose from.
• Planet Fitness is offering free “Home Work-Ins.” Tune in to their Facebook Live page for free, at-home workouts. The quick but impactful sessions will get you moving for 20 minutes, help to relieve stress, and keep you active.
• CorePower Yoga is offering free access to a special weekly collection of online classes.
• Free Fitness Apps include the Nike Training Club  and Daily Workout apps which also has a YouTube channel with plenty of workouts for all fitness levels.
• For children, there’s KIDZ BOP Dance Along Videos and Little Sports exercise videos. The colorful graphics and fun music will keep them entertained and active.

Much of what I love to do to stay fit and active isn’t possible right now as we all do our part to flatten the coronavirus curve. I hope you and your family are well, and look forward to the time when we can all resume our favorite activities.
