All you need to know about keeping active during COVID-19 with the Heart Foundation

Keeping physically active is vital for better heart health

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is impacting on all areas of life:

• You may be working from home
• Your children may be doing school online
• The practice of isolation and social distancing could be limiting your chances to stay active

When it comes to getting active, the Heart Foundation recommends that we all aim to do:

• 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity each week (at least 20 minutes a day)
• muscle-strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week

Being active at these levels can reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 35%, boost your general health and your mental health.
