5. Yes, Yet Another Streaming Service You Need in Your Life
Disney fans are already on the new Disney+ streaming service and binging the good stuff.
But if you’re a Marvel, National Geographic, Star Wars, The Simpsons, and Disney Channel fan too, the new streaming platform is worth checking out as well. Heck, even just to see Baby Yoda, it’s worth it.
Especially since it’s only $6.99 a month that includes 4K streaming for Ultra HD goodness.
Get access to scope out the new originals, TV series (7,500 episodes!), and movies (100 freshly released from the theaters and 400+ from the library). This includes stuff from “The Vault” too, movies that have been locked away and only see the light temporarily years later.
You’ve got room for both Netflix and Disney+ in your life. Even better, you can simultaneously stream on 4 screens and download unlimited content on Disney+ too.
6. Customized Workout Classes Whenever You Want
Relieve some of that stir craziness at home with fitness classes you can access anytime, anywhere, along with customizing it to your own schedule and mood.
Do 10 minutes today, and 30 minutes tomorrow. Choose between Beginner, Intermediate, or Expert. There are thousands of live and on-demand workouts ranging from bootcamp, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), dance, barre, strength, yoga, stretching, and more.
NEOU Fitness (pronounced “NEO YOU”) is great for those that miss their group fitness classes, for people who like a variety of classes every day, and want more control over their routine.
Stream on any device screen and filter classes by type, duration, body focus, and more.
For a limited time, new members get 50% off the annual membership for just $49.99 (basically less than $5/month). You can try it out for free for 7-days to see how you like it!
7. Get Access to Doctors and Wellness Coaches 24/7 Even When Homebound
