Ways you can still be active

There are still many ways you can be active while maintaining physical distance.

Out and about

You can still exercise in some public places. You can meet up with a friend, family member, or trainer. You can:

• walk
• jog
• ride a bike or scooter
• kick a ball at the oval

Just remember to stay home if you are unwell, keep 1.5 metres apart, avoid physical contact, and wash your hands.

At home

Physical activity you can do at home includes:

• weights training — if you don’t have any weights, make your own with filled water bottles, cans or jars
• yoga
• pilates
• backyard sports
• going up and down stairs
• on-the-spot running, star jumps, sit ups and push ups
• gardening
• dancing
• virtual fitness classes
• Zoom or Skype group lounge exercises with your friends
