Traditional gyms, yoga studios and trainers are beginning to put exercise online. Why not the adaptive sports community? They’ve just begun to answer that call. Here are a few ways to stay healthy at home, even with meditation and gentle exercise. If you know of others, don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’ll add them to the list – jessica@anchormedsupplies.com. Everyone, please stay well!
