Today’s Solutions: November 04, 2026

Earlier this week we shared a story about the benefits of light to moderate exercise if you are feeling healthy, to boost wellbeing during the COVID-19 outbreak. If you’re looking for new and fun ways to stay active while practicing social distancing, look no further, we have a list of resources for you for new online fitness classes to try. 

Most fitness studios and gyms come with a hefty price tag, but now, you can try out a wide variety of these classes free of charge, from the comfort of your own home! Here are some studios offering free online classes.

  1. Core Power Yoga has many of its popular yoga courses and meditations available on their website. Options vary from calm restorative yoga to more intense yoga sculpt.
