Keep the whole family fit & healthy

The family fitness series aims to make exercise fun for kids (hopefully for you too!), exercise shouldn't be a chore!

The fitness team has been creating some great ways to keep the whole family fit & healthy. Exercising isn't just good for the body, it also helps keep your mental health in tip-top condition. During the lockdown, it's important to look after each other. To do our bit, the team has been working hard to offer families ideas to stay active whilst at home.
