Workout in another country! Today’s program is another Les Mills filmed in the majestic backdrop of New Zealand.
This full-body workout is also a low-impact option that can be done without equipment. These basic Tai Chi and yoga movements will hit all major muscle groups with relaxing music as you move to the flow. This session is for beginners to advanced members and can be enjoyed by all ages. While a mat is not required, a non-hard surface is recommended for comfort.
Any movement you can do throughout the day counts! You might have to be more aware of the amount of time you are putting in and making a weekly goal can help you acheive this. Being active while at home can help you keep your home life in balance and creating routine can be good for the whole family. When the weather is nice get outside, fresh air and a little vitaman D is good for everyone. The family can go for a walk, plant some flowers, clean out the garage or even wash the cars.Can’t get outside? Here are some ideas from the American Heart Association:
Family chores. Have the whole family helpout in daily chores, vacuum, fold laundry, take out the trash, walk the dog, etc.
Dance sessions are always fun! Have everyone pick out a song to dance to and get moving.
Limit the screen time. Take a walk or play a game.
Find a workout video online. Have the family join in, have activites they can do too.
Pets need physical activity too. Throw a ball or stick for the dog to fetch. Lead the cat on a string chase around the house.
Keep exercise equipment out where it can easily be used for a quick workout.
In this practice we explore the different regions of the body with our attention. Noticing when the mind has wandered, and gently guiding it back to the region we are exploring. This will help us develop both our capacity to pay attention and our relationship to the physical body.
Use this technique any time. Whether before a workout or after one. By listening to your body you will take heed of when and where you are feeling tired, energized, sore, or even feeling loose. This will help you determine what next steps are in your workout program and or regimen.
The cast of “The Office” created the virtual wedding one couple will never forget.
“Office” alum John Krasinski‘s latest guests on web series “Some Good News” included a Maryland couple, identified only as John and Susan, “whose wedding proposal was oddly familiar”: As avid fans of the long-running NBC comedy, John proposed to Susan at a gas station, just like Krasinski’s character Jim Halpert.
“And then he got down on one knee,” Susan remembered, “and he was like, ‘Just like Jim, I can’t wait any longer.'”
“C’mon now!” Krasinski said with his hands raised. “That’s the stuff, John. That’s the that sweet, sweet stuff… Congratulations, guys. You now have proved that that proposal works 100% of the time now.”
Krasinski said he got ordained in order to marry the couple and brought their parents and best friends into the video chat. The actor then introduced Jenna Fischer, the woman who portrayed his onscreen love, Pam Beesly.
“Here’s all I’m gonna say: One day, your kids are going to assume that their parents are soulmates. And in your case, they will be right,” Fischer said, referencing a line her character once uttered.
Zac Brown performed a song, in lieu of a walk down the aisle, and then Krasinski led the couple through their vows.
He had an ending worked up that would make the world’s best boss Michael Scott proud, too. Krasinski said he needed some of his “family” present for the party and brought in his former castmates of the sitcom.
In videos shot from their individual homes, the actors performed their original dance moves from the wedding episode, including Dwight accidentally kicking a bridesmaid in the face (played this time by Wilson’s wife) and Kevin wearing tissue boxes on his feet instead of dress shoes.
“It is your wedding,” read a sign Kinsey held up, showing off another Easter egg for “Office” fans.
A funny named training method makes exercise more fun! A fartlek is a Swedish word that means “speed play.” This method of training is a way for you to find your next gear in running speed or it can be applied to other types of training. With a fartlek, you engage in random speed training that is playful so it doesn’t feel like work. Basically, you trick yourself into getting faster. Ready to give it a running try?
The workout:
WARM UP: 10 minutes of easy running
DYNAMIC WARM UP: 30 seconds each of high knees, butt kicks, forward lunges with a kick and leg swings
4 x 20-second strides with a 40 second recovery
WORKOUT: 10 to 20 total minutes of unstructured fartlek. Randomly pick up your pace for whatever distance you feel like. Maybe run faster to the next street sign or count off 7 mailboxes.
You can scale this workout up or down to match your fitness level. Have fun!

Who doesn’t love a good work-from-home story? Earlier this month, Fox 13 meteorologist Paul Dellegatto was presenting the weather forecast from home when his Golden Retriever, Brody, kept accidentally bumping the computer. So Dellegatto let Brody sit on his lap during his broadcast and cuteness ensued.
But the Golden Retriever couldn’t sit still for long. Body then jumped off Delgatto’s lap and walked towards the window where his cameraman, Craig, was filing the weather segment from his porch. This confused poor Brody who probably doesn’t understand social distancing.
“Don’t take this the wrong way, Paul, but this is amazing,” the show’s anchor told the embarrassed weatherman.
