Grass Roots Fitness In Vienna Continues Outdoor Exercises

Many fitness classes that normally would have been held inside gyms were transformed into outdoor classes due to coronavirus-related restrictions on group activities indoors. Even though the weather has turned colder, those classes have continued without any issues. One of them is Joann Meginley, owner of Grass Roots Fitness in Vienna, Virginia, whose outdoor classes have been going off without a hitch, at least until a winter storm hit the D.C. region on Wednesday. According to wtop.com, "Fitness places and yoga studios across the U.S. have been offering online classes, some free of charge, or extending trial periods for at-home workouts since the pandemic started. According to Meginley, people who exercise outside during the winter should wear a hat and layers that can be removed if they get too hot. Meginley said she prefers mittens rather than gloves because fingers generate more heat when they are not separated from each other by fabric." As per wtop.com, "For those who don’t want to be outside in the cold — or around other people during the pandemic — Meginley said virtual classes or using workout videos at home are still beneficial. Some people have been creative, grabbing bleach bottles as makeshift weights, or taking cues from YouTube challenges showing how to do crunches with furniture or turn a kitchen floor into a treadmill by soaping up the tiling."
