A porch. A home office. A playroom. A big walk-in closet might even work.

Underappreciated spaces in your home take on a whole new meaning when paired with a yoga mat, dumbbells, and a towel. You close the door, tune out the distractions, put the phone on Do Not Disturb, and press play it's time to workout from home.

Almost 90 percent of the U.S. is under stay-at-home orders because of the coronavirus pandemic. And if your Instagram feed looks anything like ours right now, it seems like 90 percent of the world is partaking in home workouts.

High-end at-home fitness companies like Peloton have live classes streamed right to the chic display on the company's $2,000 stationary bikes subscription not included, by the way. A modern extension of energetic, if kitschy, exercise video franchises of past generations, you can now sweat with thousands of your closest friends with a few swipes and taps.

Area fitness studios have also jumped on the trend out of necessity, pivoting quickly to offering online classes without the ability to host in-person workouts. Your favorite yoga studio or CrossFit gym may be closed, but they're almost certainly offering classes online via services like Instagram Live and Zoom.

Workout fiends all over the Charleston area (and beyond) are grateful. And apparently, generous, too.

Trace Bonner, owner of Holy Cow Yoga, says that the studio has had a "wonderful" response to virtual classes, which they stream using Zoom. In this format, teachers and students can interact; instead of simply watching a teacher teach to a camera screen, students can say "hi" to their teacher and fellow Zoomers. People are showing up for their regular class times, recreating the feeling of seeing each other in person at the studio.

A bonus to online classes? Bonner says Holy Cow has reconnected with former students who have moved away.

The Works, owned by Sarah Frick, has adopted Zoom-streamed classes, too. "We've gotten really amazing feedback," says Frick, who recently taught 100 dedicated yogis in her popular Saturday morning class. "People are missing their communities, so it's nice to see these little squares of people that you're used to sweating next to."

Closing gyms and studios comes at a cost, of course. Kelly Jean Moore, owner of Mission Yoga, says that while about 60 percent of her studio's members are on yearly contracts and auto draft plans, the money they make from drop-ins and smaller classes passes "has mostly evaporated." Mission is currently offering free yoga videos on Facebook, and encouraging students to donate what they can using Venmo.

The donations have been generous, says Moore, but that doesn't mean that Mission has plans to get fancy with these virtual classes. "Our focus right now isn't on coming up with some super lucrative new business model. People have enough to worry about," she says. "I just want to be a voice of hope and clarity in this muddy mess."

Like Moore, Transformation Yoga owner Kennae Miller hopes to instill some calm in her students. Transformation is not currently offering regular online classes, but Miller is active on Instagram, offering words of comfort and advice for those struggling during this period of self-isolation.

"It has certainly been a different experience for us, because the communities we serve are revisiting real feelings of fear and trauma," says Miller, whose work often focuses on working with marginalized communities and black and brown people of color. "We're caring for ourselves in the way of not doing everything, but only what is important if it means not working out or getting off the couch, then so be it."

A big part of any fitness movement is the community. Just as teachers are working quickly and efficiently to better serve their students, students are showing up in big ways to support their beloved studios and gyms.

Meg Gray, owner of Urban Yoga, says that she and Urban's teachers have received "an outpouring of love and support," with members dropping off gift cards and food to teachers' homes, and donating to the studio's GoFundMe page. "It's been quite wonderful to witness the community at Urban and also within the wellness community coming together in support," she says.

Diana Dove, a personal trainer and Pilates instructor at Longevity Fitness, says that she sees clients readily adapting to online classes, grateful that in these new and strange times they can still be held accountable for their wellness goals. "I think it helps to know we're still there, even if at a distance," she says.

At close-knit gyms like Park Circle's Locomotion Fitness, members have created new ways to connect through a Facebook group, Stay Healthy Charleston, that features posts on free workouts, nutrition tips, recipes, and general positive messages. The gym has loaned out their equipment while they are closed for normal business so that members can really make their home workouts feel like gym workouts. They've got stuff for the kids, too, with "PE classes" digestible 30-minute videos with 20 minutes of movement and 10 minutes of social and emotional learning.

Holy Cow's Bonner says that the studio's teachers are finding out more about their students than ever before, namely, their ability to adapt to change. "The one interesting thing that has happened is the widespread acceptance of live online classes," says Bonner. "Many people hope we will continue the online classes when we get back to 'normal.' We accessed some newfound market that we didn't even know was there."

As accessible as online classes are, there's still something special about going into a studio and learning from a teacher or trainer in-person. At the end of the day, that in-person interaction is where most of the money comes from, too. Gray is grateful for Urban Yoga's generous students, but she is understandably worried about her studio's future. "With exorbitant rent and overhead not disappearing, and the fact that all our teachers are independent contractors who only get paid when they are teaching to say that is daunting and scary is an understatement," she says.

Frick acknowledges those overhead costs too, pointing out that a Comcast bill doesn't change just because no one's in the studio using the internet. With two Works locations (the second opens in Mt. Pleasant later this year), she says that dealing with two different landlords has been a challenge. Still, she's helping out her instructors, many of whom teach yoga full-time or work in the food and bev industry, as much as she can. That 100-person yoga class a few Saturdays ago was a fundraiser for The Works' instructors. "One of the most beautiful things about Charleston is its ability to support its local community," says Frick.

Some small businesses may not survive this pandemic. Charleston's studios and gyms hope to avoid that fate, but they're working hard to give what they can to students and take care of themselves, too. Bonner has been using a morning meditation to "ride this wave." Miller is stepping outside and taking deep breaths. Moore is leaning into the yin (passive and reflective) elements of her yoga practice to accept things as they are.

Gray is getting outside and focusing on staying grounded and positive. She's got a mantra, too, one that we could all use during this time. "Inhale, exhale. Embrace community. And lean into the unknown."

With people now forced to choose working out at home over the gym, Ronn Hubbard from Push Pedal Pull in Brooklyn Park says business is booming. Benches and treadmills are popular requests.

The COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily closed gyms and fitness clubs in the northwest suburbs.

Because of this, businessis booming at places like Push Pedal Pull in Brooklyn Park. His store is actually closed, but staff members are taking orders over the phone and then delivering the equipment.

We are so busy, said Ronn Hubbard, who runs Push Pedal Pull. Were not even open right now and I cant keep up with helping people out and getting them exercise gear and getting it delivered it to their home.

In a typical Twin Cities spring, some people like to exercise outside more than inside. But this hardly is a typical spring. The combination of cabin fever and being stuck at home because of COVID-19, means people are getting creative when it comes to work outs.

Any time its cold outside were busy, Hubbard said. Anytime its real hot, muggy and miserable, were busy. This is typically a slow time for us. This years different with this going on.

Hubbard first noticed a change in business about three weeks ago, as people started staying at home because of the novel coronavirus.

Weve done about four months of business in just three weeks, said Hubbard.

Hubbard says people are asking for benches, free weights, rowers, and indoor cycling bikes.

WESTERLY Kristen Ullrich sat alone in her Westerly studio Wednesday morning, balanced herself on a mat, looked into the camera and urged her students to inhale, exhale, and breathe.

Miles away in Mystic, at the very same time, Priscilla Humphrey positioned herself on a clean white mat, stared into her camera and calmly encouraged her students to breathe, center and settle in for a class in gentle yoga.

Back in Westerly,Ashley DeLauro was busy updating her website at SoulFitSisters and getting ready to post a recipe for "Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies," or what she also calls "COVID-19 Made Me Do This."

In another part of town, longtime Zumba, Silver Sneakers and "Stretch & Go" instructor Gerry McVeigh, of Westerly, wearing comfy-looking workout gear, positioned herself before a camera and gave instructions about stretching to an invisible audience.

Simultaneously at the Ocean Community YMCA, members received an invitation to log on toYMCA 360 and enroll in one of the free virtual classes being offered by the national YMCA.

With gyms, fitness centers, yoga studios and pools shut tight due to the coronavirus pandemic, fitness instructors and yoga teachers are experimenting with every available technology in order to meet their clients' needs and help them maintain their workouts.

Ullrich, who owns BarreCoast, a fitness studio in Westerly, uses Facebook Live to teach her vinyasa flowclass. Humphrey, who has been teaching yoga for more than 20 years, uses the video communications app Zoom to teach her students. DeLauro, an online women's fitness coach, uses her website, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to get her message out.

The Ocean Community YMCA, which serves thousands of members at its branches in Westerly, Mystic and Richmond, connected with the national YMCA in order to offer on-demand videos for group exercise classes and sports classes.McVeigh,who has taught classes at the Ocean Community YMCA's Westerly branch for roughly 30 years, said not long after the Y closed its doors, she and her fellow instructors decided to continue to teach classes using Facebook and Zoom.

"With so many people all stressed out," said Humphrey, who teaches a number of online classes from her home studio and has students showing up not only from Connecticut and Rhode Island but from Maine, Colorado, Florida and even Italy. "I wanted to offer something to people ... some grounding ... and meditation."

"It's a good way to start the day," she added. "Instead of getting up and jumping right into the news."

While Humphrey does not charge for her yoga classes, she does accept donations.

"Donations are appreciated," Humphrey notes on her Facebook page. "However, if you are experiencing financial hardship at this time, please receive these classes as a gift or make a very small donation."

"I'm trying to find the positive," said DeLauro, who said she even uses the old-fashioned telephone to connect with her "sisterhood" of all-female clients for her "SureFit" program. "There are so many ways for people to just show up for themselves ... but we need support and we all lean on one another."

Once members join her "tribe," said DeLauro, for $29.99 a month, they receive access to workout videos, challenges, recipes and "Mindset Modules" tips for how to practice "self-love and end self-sabotage for good."

Ullrich, who has five employees and 25 teachers, and a close-knit BarreCoast community, said the coronavirus epidemic sort of "forced us" to explore new options for teaching and for staying connected. Facebook Live has allowed for a simple transition, she said.

Ullrich, who charges $20 for a 30-day membership, said BarreCoast LIVE classes are videos48 classes to date that have been archived and can be found at the online Facebook group BarreCoast Virtual Classes.

"I want to continue to serve our clients and keep our community together," she said.

Jared Coon, owner of Westerly Crossfit, a gym with roughly 100 members, said while he had to close his gym weeks ago, he is managing to stay positive.

The day before the mandated closing, said Coon, a weightlifter who holds a number of American records, he called his members and offered them the chance to come to his High Street gym and borrow equipment so they could do workouts at home.

Members borrowed kettle bells and barbells, he said, and many of his coaches started posting workouts via Facebook Live.

"We may not be able to get into the gym but we can still get some fitness in, guys. We would LOVE to get some dms from you all to be able to share with each other while we get through this time of change," read one post. "Send us pictures, videos, whatever you have! Cant wait to be together again. #needtosquatlower #6feetapart #fitnessfun #sundayfunday #westerlycrossfit."

Coon said his gym "is more about community than anything else."

"That's what the whole point of what Crossfit is," he added, "worldwide and here in Westerly."

For business, said Coon, who is not charging members while the gym is closed, "it couldn't be worse," but for his community, it's working.

Derek Vacca of Westerly, who owns Precision Fitness on High Street, said he closed up his gym a few weeks ago when the governor's mandates were announced and has had to take a bit of a hiatus.

He's concerned, he said, about keeping his business afloat during such an insecure time that has no clear end in sight.

Vacca, who posts his workouts for his clients online, has a team of trainers, many of whom are posting workouts on Instagram and Facebook, and holding classes via Zoom.

But for his gym, which he describes as "very hands-on," and which specializes in training athletes, there really is no substitute for face-to-face workouts.

In addition to contacting the Small Business Association, to see how other small gyms and fitness centers are coping during these coronavirus days, Vacca said he's getting in another form of exercise.

"I'm playing a lot of golf these days," said Vacca with a laugh. "I'm hitting a lot of balls and doing a lot of walking."

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AFNS) --

As the COVID-19 pandemic disrupts many aspects of our daily lives, staying fit is something Airmen can and should continue to maintain their physical and mental wellbeing.

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, regular physical activity can help reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Also, moderately intense physical activity is associated with better immune function.

Staying fit is not only crucial for Airman readiness, but is also vital in reducing our risk of illness like COVID-19, said Col. Thomas Moore, Air Force Health Promotion Branch chief. Now more than ever, it is important for Airmen to maintain physical fitness, in addition to good nutrition and adequate sleep.

The Department of Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommends at least 150 minutes of moderately intense aerobic activity per week or 75 minutes of high intense activity per week.

With current social distancing recommendations, working from home and other limitations aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19, it can be difficult to maintain a fitness routine. To help Airmen and their families, the Air Force Health Promotion Branch collected suggestions on how Airmen can still engage in physical activity.

There are many physical activities Airmen can still engage in, both indoor and outdoor, said Lt. Col. Saunya Bright, Air Force Health Promotion Branch deputy chief. You can take a jog around your neighborhood while also remaining at least six feet away from others, use home cardio machines, or walk briskly around your house a few times a day. You can also engage in strength training at home with things like squats, lunges and push-ups.

Bright also explains that these exercises do not have to be done all once, and can be tailored to fit the shifted routines many Airmen may be facing.

Since many Airmen might feel stuck at home, it may be helpful to spread your workout throughout the day, Bright said. For example, you can do an aerobic workout in the morning, then strength training in the afternoon. Or you could do two shorter cardio sessions instead of a single, longer one.

The Health Promotion Branchs Facebook page also has links to at-home workouts and other tips to stay fit. Additionally, Airmen can rely on virtual resources such as online classes and fitness smart phone applications. Military One Source also has resources and workouts that can be done at home, including a mobile coach to help members stay on track with their fitness goals and at-home workouts.

Health promotion coordinators at Air Force bases are also reaching out to their populations to provide additional resources. For example, Airmen at Incirlik Air Bases fitness center have been sharing workout challenges and guided workouts on their social media platforms.

Many of us may be feeling stressed because of the current COVID-19 pandemic and how it has upended many facets of our daily lives, Moore said. Staying fit and maintaining good nutrition are simple yet vital things we can all do to keep us both mentally and physically healthy.

Moore also suggests making the most of the disruption Airmen may be experiencing and using the time to build healthy habits that could continue when normal schedules return.

Our Air Force Surgeon General, (Lt. Gen. Dorothy Hogg), has championed Disruptive Innovation, or radical ideas that could lead to significant improvements in our operations, Moore said. I would like to challenge our Airmen to use this time of disruption to engage in Disruptive Renovation. Dont just do what you can to get through these challenging times, but use it as an opportunity to move in a healthier direction. Set a goal to come back to work healthier in at least one way.

BeachBody CEO Carl Daikeler joins Yahoo Finances On The Move to discuss a surge in demand for home fitness video-streaming services.

JULIE HYMAN: You're watching Yahoo Finance. I'm Julie Hyman. As you see the markets rise today, we've been talking with various companies who are trying to get people active in their own homes. One of them is Beachbody, and we're joined now by the founder and CEO, Carl Daikeler, from Los Angeles.

Carl, your network is already largely online. And I know you've seen a lot of folks continue to sign up for this. How do the logistics work of how you do your classes? I know there have been questions about some of your competitors like a Peloton, for example, which, until earlier this week, was still doing with a skeleton crew in-person, streaming classes. What are you guys doing on that front?

CARL DAIKELER: Well, we've been doing this business model of turning the home, the spare bedroom, the garage, into a makeshift gym for people since 1998. So now the digital platform launched in 2016, but it's never been about live classes.

What we do is we put programs that are structured over the course of, let's say, 80 days or 21 days, to provide a gateway for people to start a program on day one, and then they follow it. They just trigger the next workout, almost like a Netflix model more than a live model.

But what's interesting is we have these 340,000 what we call coaches, who are accountability partners. They put groups together that then follow these workouts together. They do them in Zoom groups, or they do them in Facebook Messenger chat pods. And they're basically holding each other accountable to both a fitness program and a new nutrition program at the same time.

So it's not a live model. But what it is, is a proven model over a specific period of time so that you know you're going to get results in the right sequence of workouts while you're stuck at home.

ADAM SHAPIRO: I am curious what-- you know, as people are signing up to do this, we're hearing health reports that one of the ways to protect your lungs is to do something that exerts and gets you to increase your lung capacity. Is part of your program designed to do that?

Story continues

CARL DAIKELER: Well, you know what? That headline that you provided just before the break was-- is tough to hear. And for sure, the best way to preserve your health is healthy lifestyle choices. And that includes some measure of increased activity, and here's the good news, maybe a good headline on the other side of it.

Yesterday, we had more workouts streamed on Beachbody on-demand. Over 700,000 workouts were streamed. And that is over three times the number of workouts that were streamed on actually January 1st, the big New Year's resolution spike. So yes, a proper diet, an approach to fitness that's consistent, and just making sure that you're getting good nutrition, that's the best way to guard yourself from any sort of sickness.

And certainly at a time like this, you want to protect yourself. So it's important for people to find some way to be active, even if you're just going for a walk or a jog or something. Obviously, we'd love it if they plugged into a Beachbody on-demand workout, but do something to get your heart rate going, improve your respiration, and show your body you mean business about being healthy.

MELODY HAHM: Hey, Carl, Melody here. When you think about the winners and losers that we are trying to parse through-- and it feels uncomfortable, right, to think about this being an opportunity-- but in your case, you have been at the helm of Beachbody for two decades, right? So as you think about the ebbs and flows of your own business, when was the last time you saw this kind of surge or this sort of demand at home?

CARL DAIKELER: Well, the original premise of the business was to make the home as gratifying and effective a place to work out as a gym for people like me who either don't like working out or don't like the commute. But and certainly when P90x launched back in the late '90s or early 2000s, that was a spike that none of us expected to see so many people embrace extreme fitness.

The launch of Beachbody on-demand was also a huge rupture. It was brand new. And now we've built over-- we have over 73 different programs, 1.8 million subscribers. We added 275,000 new subscribers since March 15th. That's over 200% increase in the number of people that we're adding week over week over last year. So we've never seen a spike like this.

And look, the last way we want to grow as a company is due to a pandemic. That's not in our business plan. But I will say that it is really gratifying to have a business model that is prolific, that is proven to get people results, that does combine fitness.

And it's important right now-- healthy eating, portion control, and understanding that you got to drink your water, you got to eat your vegetables. We have nutrition programs so that people don't fall apart in the midst of all this anxiety and turbulence. So it really is gratifying to be at this place at this time with 340,000 coaches, who are helping people who would otherwise be wayward. They would let it all go, and they're holding people accountable.

So, you know, look, the real heroes right now are the first responders, the doctors, nurses, paramedics that are going in to the field and working. It's our job to stay at home. But I'm proud that our business can thrive at a time that we sort of here on the back line are helping people stay healthy at home when they're doing the right thing. And that is staying at home so that first responders can do their thing.

JULIE HYMAN: Yeah, we all need a little bit of activity to offset off all that bread also that everyone apparently is baking. Carl Daikeler is the Beachbody founder and CEO. Thank you so much for your time. Appreciate it.

(This story is for CNBC PRO subscribers only.)

Wall Street analysts upgraded a bunch of stocks on Monday as themarket continued its rebound. Upgraded stocks include Tesla, eBay, Planet Fitness, Southwest Airlines and more.

Here are the biggest calls on Wall Street on Monday:

Jefferies said in its upgrade of the stock that it thinks the company's earnings and free cash flow will be supported by "better productivity."

"We upgrade Tesla with $650PT ($800) as the only auto OEM 1) legacy-free, 2) engaged in a +ve EV sum-game, 3) ~doubling market coverage with Model Y and 4) leading the industry's technological transformation. US demand at risk near term from low gas prices but EVs mandated elsewhere and storage critical. Post est. cut (industry scenario), we see Tesla growing volume 25+%, with earnings and FCF supported by better productivity, stable ASPs and ZEV income."

Guggenheim said in its upgrade of eBay that it sees a favorable risk/reward and says the time to buy the stock is now.

"Shares are down 19% YTD and trade at ~8.5x our 2021E EPS; at these levels, and in this environment, we believe the risk/reward is favorable and see both defensive traits and positive catalysts over the next 12 months. Defensive traits include 1) a strong balance sheet, 2) robust cash flow, and 3) ~no inventory risk. Potential catalysts are 1) small business expansion, 2) monetization of Classifieds, 3) a new CEO, and 4) operational enhancements (payments, promoted listings, cost controls).

In the early hours of Sunday, November 17 2019, 20-year-old Jake Randall of Friday Wood Green, Colchester, threatened a woman over the phone who was out in Colchester with friends.

Then later, while she was outside the After Office Hours bar in the town centre, Randall approached her, armed with a knife, and grabbed her friend before stabbing him in the chest.

Witnesses ran over and tried to help and had to fight Randall off and police found him about 1.10am with several cuts and bruises to his face, a blooded nose and a swollen right eye.

Investigating officer PC Avive Martin, of Colchester CID, said the victim was lucky to be alive.

Randall went into Colchester town centre and flew into a rage before stabbing an innocent man to the chest, said PC Martin.

The court heard how the knife was just 4mm from a main artery, which would have been fatal.

The victim spent six days in hospital recovering and suffered from a collapsed lung.

I would like to praise him for his bravery and I hope with Randalls sentence provides some comfort and justice to him.

Randall was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on Monday, April 6, after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent.

He also received a nine-month sentence for possession of a knife, running concurrently.

He was given a five-year restraining order to help protect two people.
