HOW ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR KIDS ENTERTAINED?
My ‘kids’ are home from university due to the virus , so they entertain themselves and do their lectures remotely. It has been a great way to reconnect with them without all their friends/girlfriends/social engagements meaning they were always busy. So now we are cooking together and going for walks together .
WHAT IS YOUR HOME WORKOUT OF CHOICE?
I have a great trainer who is trying to help remotely. If I can’t use him I do a class from The Daily Burn or a Tracy Anderson workout video.
