Quarantine life

Hello everyone,

Obviously after hearing Boris Johnson’s address to us telling us to basically go into lockdown a few nights ago it is a worrying time for us all. At Wimbledon and especially the PE Department here are trying their hardest to keep everyone as active as possible with only being allowed out once a day.

So with this said, I have thought of some things that you could do to keep busy and active so once this is all other we can all go back with a new found love, appreciation, but most of all still able to catch a ball…

I am trying to put out daily workouts on either the emails from SLT during this period, or on the whs_slt instagram page in either the form of live stream or videos showing the exercises. Other things you could also do in this period is look up fitness videos or tutorials on YouTube or on Instagram from your favourite fitness influencers as some other forms of inspiration to keep your exercise varied and fun during a period of being stuck at home. Some of my favourite Instagram pages for at home workouts: mrandmrsmuscle + linnlowes + thedailykelsey + clairepthomas (just a starting point for anyone is lacking in inspiration!)

You can also try daily challenges, whether that’s a variation of bring sally up challenges or making up your own, maybe try a virtual yoga class or HIIT session. Keep varying it and trying new things, because why not?

In these times it’s important to keep active as we all know the clear benefits that sports and exercise has, and although we may not be able to meet up for a hockey or netball game, moving your body remains as important as it’s ever been.

Keep happy, keep healthy and most of all keep smiling 🙂

Love from,

your Sports Captain
