Enjoying a glass of wine at dinner or a few drinks on the weekend is usually no cause for concern; many people can drink in moderation and continue to live happy, successful lives.

My lack of dancing skills is not a well-kept secret, but with plenty of time at home, I’ve been tempted to learn routines in the privacy of my own apartment.

Plenty of people are using their time at home to learn TikTok dances and follow at-home workouts, and now you can combine the two with fun bodyweight routines.
