Here are some exercises which can help you keep fit during the pandemic. They focus mainly on your core muscles such as abdominals and pectorals and also help with postural muscles.

You could also look into increasing your flexibility, as this can help improve your posture, which is more likely to be worsened by this lockdown as you may be sitting on your sofa more often! I will put some guidance on Stretching and flexibilty on another page.

Finn demonstrates his keepy-uppies
...make sure that you watch the ball when it's coming down onto your foot and keep control. Practice on one foot and then once comfortable, try using both. Set a goal of 10 kick-ups then make your target higher as you become more confident! Keep the ball close at all times and maintain as much control over the ball as possible!

-Finn's suggestions
EXERCISE- Do workouts anywhere in your home that consist of space and only space! no equipment... nothing needed... there’s many exercises that can be done such as press ups sit ups, wall sit etc. do a comfortable amount for you and repeat it the following day!
-Cooking- Find a recipe online that you’ve always wanted to try and surprise the family with a new dish! Make a dessert!
-Games with family- board games like monopoly are great to play with the family! Make sure you don’t have cheaters though..!!!!!.

Rules of sport..your sport[s]
If, due to Covid/Omicron, you are unable to play competitive sport, why not learn about the Laws of your game?... or how about learning to see the game through the eyes of an official? As well as playing the game I am a football referee. Perhaps after visiting the FA website you may be interested in diving deeper into the football world...if you haven't already!

whatever your sport...tennis, rugby, golf, cricket, netball, badminton, swimming, hockey ... there will be somewhere on the web where you can really delve into the rules and playing/coaching possibilities

You can join teams and interact with others such as far-away relations from anywhere in the world; or friends who at the moment are "distancing"
Social Media
Keep in touch with mates particularly those on their own.....facetime's good .... and Zoom
.... there are so many ways to enjoy social media and the internet during lockdown.
From social interaction applications such as Facebook and Instagram where you can post photos and videos and interact with your friends.... to apps like YouTube and Twitch, where content creators upload videos which you can watch and even apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime TV, Sky Go and many more. There are many more where you can watch series and films to keep you occupied during isolation,
