Staying Active During Quarantine

Join us for an informational conversation with Caleb Weinhardt from FORGE. Physical activity comes in all forms, and we can all find different ways to incorporate enjoyable movement into our lives! This session discusses strategies for staying active safely during our current health crisis, finding joy in new routines, moving our bodies, incorporating the outdoors into our physical activity, and caring for our physical and mental health.
