The in-crowd: Easy ways to exercise at home

We are all being urged to stay at home, to protect the NHS and save lives. If you can avoid going outdoors for exercise, or just keep that outdoor exposure to a minimum – or if you are just in need of some inspiration – we have a very healthy list of action-packed fun you can do from the comfort of your own homes. You can Get Moving by staying put – whatever your age or ability level.

For those residents who are members of the leisure centres run across the borough by Better or Everyone Active, both organisations are offering online exercise options for their members. Like so many indoor public places across the country, all of their centres are closed for the moment because of the lockdown. Currently both are offering members online workouts as part of a substantially reduced or free membership fee scheme.

You can visit the centres’ websites for more details about the online options:
