How To Stay Healthy During Lockdown

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen, many people are concerned about how they will be able to stay healthy during lockdown following the closure of gyms, health clubs and exercise classes. Our health experts suggest various ways for you to stay healthy during this time in this article!

Exercising During Lockdown

Many people lack motivation to exercise without a gym or exercise class to encourage them. It is important to remember that you are allowed out of the house once a day to exercise.  This could be running or walking – getting out of the house is the most important thing!

Not a Fan of Running?

Here are our suggestions for people who want to exercise but do not enjoy running or walking:

• Skipping in your garden
• Using tins or plastics bottles as small weights
• Cycling
• Yoga (you can find various tutorials on YouTube)
