What is Lockdown Fitness?

Exercise is a great way to fill some time and boost your mood during lockdown, not only will your body get fitter, the endorphins released during exercise are shown to have a positive affect on mental health. This is our 6 week program combining different routines to give you an overall body workout. You can follow through, mix and match, do your favourites or use them however you want! These workouts are all designed so you don’t need much space, equipment or experience, ideal for doing in the comfort of your own room.
