Fitness apps and technology
Using apps and technology can help motivate us to move more.
Your home. Your rules. No need for fancy gym wear or equipment. You can get active in your own way, in the comfort of your own home.
There are many ways you can get active at home, all varying in intensity and style. Stairs, chairs and even tins of beans can be used to create your perfect indoor activity. From home circuits to kitchen dance alongs, living room yoga to desk chair routines. Getting active at home is a great way to get creative with physical activity. You can adapt what you do to suit you and mix up your routine to keep things fun!
