Many sports seasons have been delayed or canceled, but athletes should continue to grow stronger and take this time to perfect their skills. People can go in their driveway and practice basketball, or in their yard to practice volleyball, soccer, and a variety of other sports. Get creative and keep working hard. 

 

#5: Yoga

Yoga is a great way to relax and strengthen your body. Focusing on yourself and your breath for a short period of time can be very beneficial to the mind and body. Youtube has many yoga routines and practices, but you could always make up your own routine with poses you already know!

 

#6: Go for a walk!

Walking is a great way to get outdoors and get your fitness in for the day. You can take your dog to get some fresh air or even go with your family! Walking is a great option because you have total control over how fast and far you go!
