Moving Together Outside – Sabrena Jo

The Not Old Better Show, Fitness Friday Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang.  As part of our Fitness Friday series our interview today is with Sabrena Jo, Director of Science and Research Content at the American Council on Exercise.

I always love speaking with Sabrena Jo, American Council on Exercise (ACE)  Director of Science and Research, because of her research orientation.  Research, fact-based analysis, and outcomes orientation are critical to our Not Old Better Show audience.  

With the coronavirus causing some gym-goers and regulars at the local recreation center to reconsider their workout spot, staying physically active means getting creative with an exercise routine closer to home. There are lots of safe ways to work out while maintaining a physical distance.

Spring and early summer is a prime time to go outdoors to walk, run or bicycle, and play golf or tennis. Coronavirus transmission risk appears to be reduced outdoors,  but according to the NIH the virus is constantly changing and we are constantly learning about this virus.

The NIH and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention both recommend exercising outdoors where comfortable, but do so safely and with the coronavirus causing some gym-goers and regulars at the local recreation center to reconsider their workout spot, staying physically active means getting creative with an exercise routine closer to home. There are lots of safe ways to work out while maintaining a physical distance.
