From a good workout to combatting cabin fever, the 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette鈥檚 Office of Recreational Sports is providing a range of ways to keep fit virtually during the COVID-19 crisis.
UL Lafayette 亚洲自慰视频s, faculty and staff members can stay in shape, remain mentally strong and fend off boredom by participating in virtual exercise, strength and yoga classes offered on the Rec Sports website.
At-home exercises using furniture as a foundation for strength training, and group exercise classes are two popular offerings, said Dave Suter, UL Lafayette鈥檚 director of Recreational Sports. Most workouts are led by Rec Sports staff members and 亚洲自慰视频 workers. Many conduct the virtual sessions from their homes. Most sessions are done live at scheduled times. Some are recorded and posted as videos so they can be watched at any time.
鈥淚t gives people an opportunity to stay active and healthy 鈥 and motivated. For a lot of people, having something to follow along to can keep them inspired while they鈥檙e away from their normal routines,鈥 Suter said.
The Office of Rec Sports also sponsored a virtual 5-K for runners who submitted race times via an honor system. Basketball and golf trick shot contests were held, too. Competitors posted videos to Rec Sports鈥 Instagram and Facebook pages for bragging rights and T-shirts.
Taking part in any activity, however, trumps trophies. 鈥淪imply participating is the important thing. There鈥檚 a strong correlation between health and wellness and 亚洲自慰视频 success, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,鈥 Suter said.
The Office of Rec Sports鈥 website includes about a dozen electronic, or eSports, offerings as well. Some of the multiplayer video game contests are designed for fun, while others are structured for tournament competition against teams from other states.
The website also features links and tips about fitness, nutrition and mental health.
鈥淢oving forward, we鈥檒l continue to provide those sort of offerings into the summer and are considering keeping some on the website permanently. That is still up in the air, since the ultimate goal is to get people back into Bourgeois Hall where they can take advantage of the facilities and make social connections,鈥 Suter said.
