 Staying active during lockdown
A recent article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine outlined evidence-based examples of how to build physical activity into our lives during lockdown. Accompanying the journal, researchers produced an info-graphic with ideas on remaining active, staying healthy and having the confidence to start being more active.
 Working out with Olympians
The Olympic Channel has teamed up with Olympics champions and first-timers from a wide range of sports to bring you some of their best home workout routines.
 “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or walk around it."
