Working out at home may not have been part of your regular schedule a month ago. Yet, as we continue to hunker down inside and stay safe during these uncertain times, it’s important to remember that exercise can help reduce stress and prevent illness.
Luckily, fitness studios everywhere are launching online programming and offering free trials for new users. You can test out endless class types and find the style you like best. You don’t even need dumbbells or fitness equipment to get a healthy dose of endorphins.
We’ve rounded up a plethora of offerings. Whether you like dance, HIIT (high-intensity interval training), yoga, or jumping rope, there’s an option out there.
