    Earlier this month it was confirmed the Olympics would be held from July 23 to August 8 next year due to the coronavirus pandemic. But Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this week announced much of the country will enter a state of emergency as it struggles to contain the outbreak.

    “I don’t think anyone would be able to say if it is going to be possible to get it under control by next July or not,” Muto said. “We’re certainly are not in a position to give you a clear answer.

    “I think rather than thinking about alternative plans … mankind should bring together all of its technology and wisdom to work hard, so they can develop treatments, medicines, and vaccines.”

    In this series of videos, we will simulate swimming movements and engage the same muscles we use while we swim each stroke. We won’t have an intro or a long outro. That is because we want you to be able to play the video whenever you are ready and start the workout. The disadvantage of this method is that you don’t have a strong warm-up routine structured. So if you feel like you need to warm up beforehand you can use this video: https://youtu.be/tsneJbHM8IM

    1. Standing dolphin kicks
    2. Butterfly good mornings
    3. Butterfly push-ups
    4. Rocking hollow rock
    5. Circle push-ups
    6. Foot release Bridges
    7. Pike push-ups
    8. Hannibal push-ups
    9. Reverse push-ups
    10. Praying stretch
