#StayInWorkOut

Due to the current school closures our work will continue by promoting the #StayInWorkOut message. Whilst we are in this uncertain times, we are spending more time at home and it’s important to make sure that we are still exercising and staying healthy. On this page, you will find various resources that you can use to help you #StayInWorkOut. These can be adapted to use by the whole family so everyone can get involved.

The Chief Medical Officer recommends that all children and young people aged 5-18 years aim for an average of at least 60 minutes a day of physical activity. See what the Chief Medical Officer suggests to help you achieve 60 Active Minutes by viewing a simple infographic here.

Being physically active for at least 60 minutes each day will help with health and well-being, improved focus and increase the enjoyment of spending more time at home. This can involve helping with housework, playing in the garden, other active tasks at home or having a go at one of the challenges below.

In order to support you, we have compiled a small selection of providers who have an offer specifically aimed at children and young people.
