We know that things aren't back to normal yet. But we've all seen the resiliency of the human spirit and how people have been able to adapt to our new norms.

We posed this question to the community recently: "After one year with COVID and living in quarantine, can you share one way you've been able to increase physical activity?

We loved reading about all the dog-walking, trail hiking, and playing with kids and grandkids that helped to keep people moving this past year. Here are more ideas from the community board:

Hula hoop!
Walk to the park/lake and meditate at sunset
Stand up between commercials and march
Park a bit further when grocery shopping

As the spring weather allows, we encourage you to grab a friend, get outside, and soak up some vitamin D!
