Movement is essential for releasing feel-good chemicals in the body. Even though gyms, yoga studios, and fitness centers are closed right now, physically distancing measures still allow you to get out into nature and do a hike, run, or practice yoga outdoors. You can also find all kinds of fitness classes for free online.... As long as you are within the two-meter or six-foot rule, maintaining space between you and the next person, you could even be participating in outdoor activities with friends!
