#StayInWorkOut

We're all now spending a lot more time at home than we might like, which is why staying as physically active as possible is more important than ever – not only for physical health but mental well-being too.

We are supporting the new #StayInWorkOut campaign by providing fun and creative ideas on how to get active at home through a series of weekly challenges suitable for all ages, as well as signposting you to some of the best content providers out there.

These fun activities range from fitness to mindfulness and are all designed to keep the whole family entertained!
