Thank goodness for the internet. Gyms and fitness centers are closed but there are tons of online fitness resources that we can use to get in a daily workout. Now is an excellent time to work some at-home exercise into your daily schedule -- it's a fun activity to do with the kids and it will help you feel better overall, mentally and physically. Here are some online fitness resources to try:
