Exercise

We are finding ourselves sitting idle more than ever these days - it's important to get your body moving.

Aim to engage in 60 minutes of physical activity every day. It doesn’t have to be all at one time. Dance party in your bedroom, 35 jumping jacks here and there, 20 minute hula hooping contest, film a TikTok and share it out, power walk around the block twice, running, bedtime yoga, 10 pushups, do some double dutch jump rope, the list can go on and on. Bottom line – get your body moving and your heart rate up to burn off stress.
