While you're probably bummed out that you can't get to the gym during the coronavirus outbreak, New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman wants to help you stay fit from home.

Edelman is hosting the "United We Move' workout with Planet Fitness on April 2 at 7 p.m. ET, according to The Boston Globe's Ben Volin.

The event is entirely free and will be streamed on Planet Fitness' Facebook page. It apparently doesn't require any equipment and will be a 20-minute workout. If you're unable to livestream the broadcast, it will be available on both Facebook and YouTube after the event.

It's no surprise the 5-10, 198-pound receiver is leading a workout session amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Edelman is one of the league's strongest wide receivers and places a high value on strength training and conditioning.

As the Patriots prepare for the 2020 season without Tom Brady, Edelman has found a terrific way to pass the time.
