This week we continue our series of providing free resources for families during the COVID-19 school shutdown. Check out this great list of resources and ideas for staying active while also staying healthy. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting a physical activity program, especially if you are in an at risk category for COVID-19.
Get The Facts First
It’s time to get serious about social distancing. This article from NPR goes over the latest Do’s and Don’ts of what many ofus are calling our new normal. It’s also important to always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new activity, especially if you are in an at risk category for COVID-19.
You can still go for a run or a walk outside while social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak. Running or walking outside solo or with your family can be a good distraction and source of physical activity.
