This FREE program is NOT for people who are:

- Are happy with spending their time being not active

Stay home precautions are lasting longer than we anticipated and many have told us that they are getting stiff and achy due to lack of movement. Numerous studies have proven over and over how exercises can improve our health and prevent complications*. We wanted to help and organized this FREE program for all who would like to minimize a chance of getting into any trouble due to lack of movement and routine.
Due to the popular demand and in response to many who were unable to take the time off work, we added evening sessions on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 8:00 pm. In addition to our Move with Mira FREE exercise program, on Thursday evenings, our professionals will be at your disposal to provide some insights, answer some common questions and perhaps dispel some myths we have regarding our health.
What Science Says About Exercises in Relation with COVID-19?
“Regular exercise may reduce the risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome, a major cause of death in patients with the COVID-19 virus, a top exercise researcher reports. He is urging people to exercise based on his findings, which also suggest a potential treatment approach.
A review by Zhen Yan, PhD, of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, showed that medical research findings “strongly support” the possibility that exercise can prevent or at least reduce the severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome, which affects between 3% and 17% of all patients with COVID-19.”
“All you hear now is either social distancing or ventilator, as if all we can do is either avoiding exposure or relying on a ventilator to survive if we get infected,” Yan said. “The flip side of the story is that approximately 80% of confirmed COVID-19 patients have mild symptoms with no need of respiratory support. The question is why. Our findings about an endogenous antioxidant enzyme provide important clues and have intrigued us to develop a novel therapeutic for ARDS caused by COVID-19.”
Research suggests that even a single session of exercise increases production of the antioxidant, prompting Yan to urge people to find ways to exercise even while maintaining social distancing. “We cannot live in isolation forever,” he said. “Regular exercise has far more health benefits than we know. The protection against this severe respiratory disease condition is just one of the many examples.””
