We may be practicing social distancing, but we can still workout and stay fit both physically and mentally.
UB Recreation Group Fitness has provided a list of mostly free resources that can be done inside with limited space and equipment.
Health-related injuries may result from incorrect or excessive use of these exercise resources. UB Rec strongly recommends seeing a physician for a complete medical exam before undertaking an exercise program, particularly if the user has a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease, is over the age of 45, smokes, has high cholesterol, is obese, or has not exercised regularly in the past year. If, at any time while exercising, the user experiences faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breathe, he or she must stop immediately.
We hope you take advantage of these great free online resources and cannot wait to see you back in person!
