If there’s anything we all could use right now it would be endorphins. You know, the happy hormones. The only thing that makes coming out of the gym all sweaty and sore totally worth it and making you crave more.
Unfortunately, COVID-19 has shut down all gyms. Meaning your post-pandemic body could come out one of two ways — spring break in the summer ready or like you have had every food delivery service deliver straight to your couch.
To help you come out of this coronavirus confident and ready to hit up all your favorite spots, here are five resources to try out. Who knows, you may have just found your new favorite workout class.

Pick up your suitcase, laundry detergent, and water bottle and head on over to their YouTube channel, they’re uploading a new workout every day.
