While you’re outside, why not enjoy the fresh air and get a workout in?

Wow, their kids are going to be able to throw one mean fast ball.
Speaking of hands, just check out this catch!

It seems all of our favorite former players are showing their stuff.
Retired MLS midfielder Brad Davis has still got it – we wouldn’t mind if he made a return to soccer, or perhaps tested his luck in the NBA once this is all over.

It might only be practice for these athletes, but it never hurts to get a little love after a great swing.

Don’t have a dog? How about a sibling or kiddo to cheer you on – they might even want a piece of the action.
Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush’s daughter wasn’t about to sit idly by and watch momma run on the treadmill.
Holy smokes, it looks like she got some of her dad’s speed! And just watch his son go!
These kids sure are athletic. New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ son Callen sinks his shot from way downtown, and his prize: well, he’s hoping for an NBA Finals trophy.
We love kids who dream big. Maybe one day he’ll have one of his own. An all-time great quarterback is his dad, after all.
Meanwhile, it looks like Steph is out on the court putting in some work.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry stays fresh with projected No. 1 pick Sabrina Ionescu by his side.
Don’t worry, they are still practicing social distancing!
However, it looks like Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier’s baby is not…we’re just joking.
That TikTok really is all the rage.

We’re feeling inspired! If you’re quarantined solo or have a partner, turn up the music and let loose!
A little dance party might be exactly what you need during these times.
