We at the Macao News team believe in making the most out of any situation. To keep you active, busy and entertained while staying in this week, we’ve come up with a series of recommendations. 

Gyms being closed and no outdoor exercise don’t mean you can’t still get your daily movements in. Spread out your mat and try ashtanga yoga or awaken all your muscles with a full-body workout challenge. 

Work up an appetite with our fitness guide then put on your chef’s apron with our recipe suggestions. Most can be made with pantry staples so you probably already have the ingredients at home.
