Fitness for NHS Staff
From food shopping, working long shifts, taking the kids to school to cleaning the house, sometimes, finding the time to workout can feel like a chore, but it doesn’t have to be that way. For many of us, we get wrapped up in the idea of what a successful workout should look like, but in reality, there are loads of ways to move your body.
While 60-minute workouts with weights and 45-minute workout classes are great options for those with more time, there are various ways to exercise that you can squeeze into your day-to-day life. Exercise doesn’t have to be all weights and strict diets. It can be enjoyable.
Whether you like running, dancing, swimming, or walking, simply moving your body promotes strong muscles, improves respiratory and cardiovascular health, and, most importantly, fitness can make you feel good. And when you feel good, you do good.
