Welcome to the Move Blog

Due to the world-wide lockdown, two main mindsets seem to have emerged as a way to deal with the strange circumstances and is raising the debate of which is better when it comes to online fitness classes: on-demand or live-streaming workouts.

Although a long period of isolation and restricted movement will be necessary to safeguard public health during the coronavirus situation, it has been acknowledged that it could well have a detrimental impact on people’s mental health.

Did you know that there are currently 1.3 million fewer women than men meeting the target of 150 minutes of physical activity per week?

Fitness should be fun - that’s our mantra which we want everyone in the world to know!  Sure, you can sweat but can you smile at the same time? It’s all about finding the activity that’s right for you and if it makes you happy, you’re more likely to stick with it.

Hands up if you’re guilty for spending too much time on social media? We all scroll through Instagram and Facebook, lapping up content on a daily basis. But are you keeping up-to-date with the right kind of influences? Do they keep you inspired? Do you feel motivated by what they share?

As the warm weather descends on us and we get a decent whiff of summer, your motivation may be flagging with keeping to your fitness routines. When those suntrap pub gardens beckon and those BBQ’s get fired up, it’s easy to forsake your usual fitness class in favour of some alfresco fun!
