Don’t Get Lazy in Lockdown!

Don’t Get Lazy in Lockdown!

Local Personal Trainer, Andy Yates gives us his top tips to keep healthy, keep active, stay at home, follow the government guidelines and how NOT to get Lazy in Lockdown.

Keeping active is great, not just for physical health but also for your mental health. You can build muscle and lose weight all in the privacy of your own home.

Try this home workout that Andy has assigned for all his online-based clients to do in their own home.

It is a lower body workout with a little bit of core and cardio involved.

Hope you enjoy!
