Looking for a Silver Lining - Part 2 - Quarantine Workouts

8. If you are an Amazon Prime member, there are tons of workout videos there, too.

Some of them are free to everyone. All sorts of stuff, including Yoga, Pilates, boot camps...

Many PBS affiliates also carry "Yoga in Practice" and "Classical Stretch by Essentrics." I highly recommend the latter for everyone, regardless of fitness level. I do the yoga occasionally, but it's not really for me.

I had been mostly spinning, swimming, and doing Zumba and other dance classes, along with a barre class before my gym closed. I still do Zumba via videos on Amazon, as well as "marching" videos by Jenny Ford. I also walk a lot more. Hadn't been doing enough of that, and it showed. I had lots of aches and pains when I first started out. I feel much better now, although I suspect that doing the "Classical Stretch" regularly helps a lot. The big problem for me now is that I'm really sick of my neighborhood, and it's starting to get really hot. Podcasts help with the boredom, but not enough at this point.

I think my gym is opening back up tomorrow. If I thought I could get use of the spin room by myself, and if I didn't have to share the (well-ventilated) pool with more than one other person, I'd think about going back a few hours a week. But, I don't really want to take the chance right now.
