Team Trainers Bringing At-Home Workout Routines to Fans
With changes over the past few weeks, not only have trainers not been able to work with their players one-on-one, but with the gym closures across the country, typical workout routines have been put on pause for the time being. With this change, these team trainers have started going to social media to engage with audiences and offer the unique opportunity for at-home workouts.
“At that point in time, I don’t think we saw other teams doing [at-home workout videos] – we just figured it’d be a good idea,” (Willie) Cruz said, the Houston Rocket’s trainer. “As the weeks started rolling in, I think we really realized that we were going to be quarantining for longer than a week or two… and we realized that [the workout videos] was going to be a very good idea since everybody’s going to be at home and not being very active.”

Amazon to Suspend Delivery Service Competing with UPS, FedEx
Amazon has announced that it will suspend its delivery service that competes with UPS and FedEx. Consumers were told Amazon would pause its Amazon Shipping service starting in June, according to the Wall Street Journal. This is due to Amazon not having resources to ship and deliver its own orders to customers, which the Wall Street Journal also reported.
"We regularly look at a variety of factors across Amazon to make sure we're set up in the right way to best serve our customers," an Amazon spokesperson told Reuters in an email confirming the halt in service.
