Whether your a musician itching to get back on stage, a parent trying to keep your kids occupied at home, an expecting mother, or just a music professional struggling to get your steps in these days, now more than ever it's important to let some energy out. The coronavirus (COVID-19) trickle effects can include depression, anxiety and stress, among other mental health emotions or illnesses, according to the Centers for Disease Control  (CDC.) As the number of cases rise, so may the number of people with anxiety, says Mental Health of America. 

Fortunately, the CDC has listed exercise as one way to cope with the depression, anxiety and other mental health emotions and illnesses and research show regular exercise can reduce stress. "It has a unique capacity to exhilarate and relax, to provide stimulation and calm, to counter depression and dissipate stress," according to Harvard. 

Below are some workout options you can stream during the quarantine. Exercise and music have always been a great pairing so press play on the songs that energize you when you're breaking a sweat.

This month, Ringo Starr is commemorating his 80th birthday with a little help from his friends. The former Beatles drummer and nine-time GRAMMY-winning artist is celebrating the big event by hosting Ringo's Big Birthday Show, a virtual charity concert featuring "a mix of at-home performances and unearthed concert footage," according to Rolling Stone, from some of his best friends and closest collaborators, including Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Gary Clark, Jr., Sheila E., Ben Harper and others. 

Streaming on YouTube Tuesday (July 7), Starr's birthday, starting at 8 p.m. EST, the charity concert will benefit MusiCares, Black Lives Matter Global Network, The David Lynch Foundation and WaterAid.

The hour-long show, which will also include chats with the event's guests, will feature the debut of a new, guest-heavy version of "Give More Love," the title track to Starr's 2017 album, which will include Jackson Browne, Jeff Bridges, Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson and others, Rolling Stone reports. Artists like Steve Earle, Peter Frampton and Judy Collins will also perform a series of tribute performances, which Starr will debut on his YouTube channel.

Starr's birthday has become an annual celebration of "peace and love" since 2008 when the legendary artist asked his fans to join him in Chicago and say or think the phrase at noon local time.  The "peace and love" celebrations have since spread to "more than 20 countries around the world and on social media, to 'create a wave of Peace & Love across the planet,'" Rolling Stone reports. For his birthday last July, Starr hosted a special "peace and love" celebration at the iconic Capitol Records building, The Beatles' longtime label home, in Los Angeles; the event featured performances from Ben Kyle, The Jacks and Sara Watkins. Starr is once again asking his fans and friends to say, think or share "peace and love" at noon local time on his birthday. 

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Starr's annual birthday celebration is going digital in 2020. "This year is going to be a little different," he told Rolling Stone. "There's no big get-together, there's no brunch for 100. But we're putting this show together – an hour of music and chat. It's quite a big birthday."

Last November, Starr and his All-Starr Band announced a 2020 tour, which was later canceled in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund has now passed $10 million in donations. During an important week for the nation in flattening the curve of coronavirus' spread, this milestone amount relects the pulling together of the music community over the past few weeks to support their own. And as the positive impact of the fund starts to take effect, the need for more help continues as more and more music people are impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and its affects on the music industry

“It’s inspiring to see how our creative community has come together to support and lift up our peers during this trying time,” said Harvey Mason Jr, Chairman and Interim CEO Recording Academy. “While the donations raised will significantly help many who work in the industry, much more is needed. We encourage those who have the means to support this charitable effort so that all music people affected by this crisis can receive the financial assistance they need.”

On March 17, the Recording Academy and its affiliated charitable foundation MusiCares established the fund, contributing an initial donation of $1 million each, totaling $2 million, to help people in the music industry affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent cancellation of multiple music events. In the weeks that followed, a long list of artists, streaming and tech companies. charities, industry partners and more have contributed to the cause.

There's also been a large number of online concerts and performances raising money to benefit the fund. Pickathon announced earlier this week its 60 Concerts In 60 Days to raise money for MusiCares over the next two months. 

And just earlier today, the viral video-sharing social media app TikTok donated $2 million, saying, "We want to help support the community that keeps us entertained."

Administered through MusiCares, the COVID-19 Fund will be used to directly support those in the music community with the greatest need. Additionally, all Recording Academy Chapters have committed to fundraising in their local communities.

While this remarkable amount raised demonstrates the power of the music community and its generosity in times of crisis, it also reminds us how far-reaching music is and thererore how much more help is needed.
