This month we're encouraging you to get active, get outdoors and take care of your body! Let's reap the benefits of getting our bodies moving and breathing more deeply as a result of exercising, laughing and even singing! We don't all need to run marathons.

Active April is a great theme for the weather getting better and vaccination life beginning. I got my second shot yesterday and was a little fatigued this morning, but I got up and did my full workout so I am doing well on day one of Active April.
ReplyDeleteI got my second shot this afternoon. No problems so far. Did you see my other post today? My friend Donna Rae Jones is offering chair yoga classes during April. We were in the middle of chair yoga classes last year, when our lockdown started. So I learned Zoom to help her get classes started that way. Here's the link:
