The current coronavirus pandemic has caused restrictions to be put in place across the country with many businesses temporarily shutting their doors including retail outlets, restaurants and gyms. Whilst the pandemic continues, government officials have stated that daily exercise is essential for the physical and mental well-being of citizens. As only one in three adults in the USA consume the recommended amount of physical activity each week, we are here to show you some methods of how you can change that and start getting fitter whilst on lockdown today.

Whilst staying active is fantastic for the body and mind, we also wanted to share some top tips to keep yourselves safe during these unprecedented times. Any equipment that you’ve ordered online, prior to being unwrapped and used, we strongly urge you to take extra precautions by wiping each item down individually. With the return of businesses and gyms lurking hopefully in the near future, we also recommend keeping some distance from gyms and other public communal areas for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to any restrictions being lifted.
