I miss my workout classes with my friend Marisa but I’m doing my best to keep exercising, It is like the oxygen mask on the airplane analogy. We have to take care of ourselves in order to take care of others.
My husband and I enjoyed a nice bike ride together this morning. Whenever I want to catch up with a loved one by phone, I’ve been putting on my walking shoes and taking a walk while we talk. It’s a great stress reliever and helps me to sleep better too.
Here are some of my favorite free online workouts from fitness studios. Be sure and read the rest of the options on the Good Housekeeping website. If you learn of any others or if any of the links are not working, please email me at morewithlessteam@gmail.com.
