Wine bottles as weights. You can be a (home) pro athlete
We're still social distancing, which means we're still Working Out From Home (#WOFH). But without access to a full gym, how can one stay fit without getting stuck in a rut?
Fear not! We here at Good Sports have more tips for you to diversify your workouts while keeping yourself and others safe.
- WINE WORKOUT: Has your alcohol intake ticked up a tad since you've been stuck at home? Our Dan Wolken explains how you can put those extra wine bottles to work.
- DANCE LIKE A BUTTERFLY ... : Want a true full-body workout that will hit the right notes in a small space? Channel your inner Muhammad Ali and give boxing a try.
- FISHING: Fly-fishing in the backcountry is the ultimate in social distancing, our Jeff Zillgitt says. And it's not just about the fishing.
- BIKING: Mountain biking can be a nice respite, but there's a lot of things you need to know about it.
- GOLFING: With the season on hold, several professional golfers, including Luke Donald, are offering up tips to help you keep your game sharp.
