How to Keep Your Students Active During 'Lockdown'

We’re in lockdown again and yet again our young people face the challenge of trying to remain active while staying home as much as possible. But, like the first lockdown, there is plenty of help out there!

The #nationspeteacher returns

Joe Wicks became a staple in most of our lives during the first lockdown thanks to his ‘PE with Joe ’ workouts that took place every weekday morning. And he’s back to help us through this lockdown with three workouts a week, taking place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Don’t forget your fancy dress outfits on Fridays!

And this time, Joe isn’t the only one delivering free PE lessons – Marcus Rashford is taking on the role of celebrity PE supply teacher on the BBC .

Still want more dance?

On PopSugarFit’s YouTube channel you’ll find a range of 30-minute dance fit videos that might be of interest to those who have enjoyed Oti’s sessions and want to do a bit more dancing!

Head to Twitter and YouTube for some sporty challenges!
