Friends, it’s looking like we may be stuck at home for a while. But if we are looking for a bright side—and we always are these days!—the truth is that many of us will have more time to do the things we’ve been putting off for years. In 2020 there are countless online options for getting in shape. YouTube is full of basically any workout you can imagine and most everything you can do in your living room.
Since we’re all about local love around here, we wanted to highlight a few Austin fitness businesses that are going online and helping us stay fit during these days of social distancing. Check them out below and if you’d like your spot to be added to the list, give us a shout at hello@365ThingsAustin.com. Namaste, y’all. Namaste.
