A gym owner is bringing recess back into students' lives virtually.
Brandon Matthews, owner of His and Her Bootcamp New York, is giving kids a chance to safely get their energy out at home.
Students take a break from their school work each day at 11 a.m. to take part in fun workouts.
Not only do kids say they enjoy the break, but parents say they love what they are seeing as well.
"This has really been his outlet, he has met new friends on here that he interacts with them on a daily basis," says Dayana Rosa about her son.
Shenelle Adam agrees that the virtual recess lets her son "get those ants in his pants out…once he is finished doing his school work, the morning stuff at least, so it allows him to get that activity he is missing from school."
