Exercises to do at home
All you need to know about keeping active during COVID-19.
Keeping physically active is vital for better heart health
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is impacting on all areas of life:
- You may be working from home
- Your children may be doing school online
- The practice of isolation and social distancing could be limiting your chances to stay active
When it comes to getting active, the Heart Foundation recommends that we all aim to do:
- 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity each week (at least 20 minutes a day)
- muscle-strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week
Being active at these levels can reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 35%, boost your general health and your mental health.
