During lock-down, it’s more difficult than ever to find ways to ensure we get our recommended 60 minutes of exercise each day.
Here are a range of resources I have found that can help you keep active in a fun way!

PE with Joe has been a national hit and we love how many there are of you taking part EVERY morning! He also has loads of ‘Kids Workouts To Do At Home’ which are each 5-8 minutes that you can try throughout the day!
