But don’t think of being at home as being boring. There are a lot of things we can all do to stay social and healthy right in our own spaces. Here are 4 ways to stave off boredom and stay in good health when you’re stuck inside: Work up a Sweat – After a long day of working from your kitchen table or wrestling with your children, take an hour to work on your own fitness.
