Since COVID-19 has sur­faced in Saskatoon, many people are practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus. Though it’s a smart thing to do, quar­antining yourself can lead to substantial boredom and a lack of motivation to remain physically active.

Physical activity is not only beneficial for your mental health but will help to strengthen your immune system. Listed below is a quick workout to get you nice and sweaty while pro­tected from the germs at your local gym.
