At least he’s not hurting, too.
New Jersey Devils defenseman P.K. Subban and Olympic gold medalist skier Lindsey Vonn’s doggo took a tumble and a slide – ouch.
Biggest hit of the quarantine??????♂️?.. haven’t been hit that hard since my rookie year! Lucy has no chill?? @lindseyvonn pic.twitter.com/6VsAyq5pj5

Meanwhile, Swedish defenseman Viktor Svedberg’s good boy was going for a ride, and later, a run.
It’s always better when you’ve got a workout buddy.

All alone? No problem!
Serie A club A.C. Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimović seems to be entertaining himself solo.
Just two minutes of Zlatan putting on a show.

We’ve all had to use our ingenuity at home to get that workout in. Whether it’s buying weights, building a bench, starting up a workout video – or possibly engineering an elaborate system to practice your golf swing, like PGA Tour golfer Pan Cheng-tsung.
We’re impressed by his innovation and dedication.
Practice smart? or too lazy? ??#golfathome #golf #practice pic.twitter.com/pIrwT7MCd1

Speaking of being impressed – you might have to watch this next video a few times.
Did ATP Tour player Alex De Minaur really just do that?
Our next question: How many attempts did that take?
This took way too long please don’t let it flop!! ???♂️⛳️ @atptour #3days pic.twitter.com/7mjIucf3uh

We all have a little bit of extra time on our hands.
Stratch that – lot of extra time.
Some of our favorite NBA stars are filling it in interesting ways.
Did you know that Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma is a fashionista? If you didn’t, now you do.
Or how about the fact that Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young can dance?
Actually, you probably knew that already since his videos are all the rage on TikTok right now.
TikTok is trending, with many athletes and their families taking to the platform to show off their silky smooth stuff.
But if breaking it down isn’t your thing, don’t worry – Los Angeles Chargers corner Chris Harris tries a different activity with his daughter.
Nail painting party, anyone?
