FITNESS IN LOCKDOWN

Moving our bodies feels more important than ever. Those of us missing the gym, and our favorite group classes are having to adapt. Many studios are offering free online classes and people are getting creative. Please share your ideas with VILLAGE!

The Pelaton has saved my body, my ass and my soul! Even if I sneak away in between calls for 20 minutes it makes me feel good. Playing fitness games with the kids outside like sprint challenges or 1:1 basketball gets the blood flowing too! - Kim in Orinda

 Love the on demand workout classes. Kickboxing and cardio. - Tammy in Orinda

I’ve been hiking in the hills and trying to stretch every morning. - Vanya in Redwood City

I love what I call “micro workouts”. They consist usually of 10 blocks in which I do one exercise, like squats or planks for 1 minute each without stopping. I either add that to a hilly walk, pilates or I just keep squatting all over the house while I do things like fold laundry. Then I never feel like I dread this big workout. Always be working out! Butt lifts in the kitchen work too! - Sondra in Orinda

I’ve been doing long walks in the neighborhood with our dog, free Core Power yoga online, and lots of forced trampoline bouncing with the kids. - Trudi in Orinda
