ACTIVE FENLAND: Make the festive period an active one
Join Active Fenland this winter and make the festive period an active one! During these uncertain times, Active Fenland have a variety of different ways to help get active.
Online
Free online content to follow in the comfort of our own homes. On the Active Fenland YouTube channel (search Active Fenland), find more than 40 free sessions of yoga to try. Start with the ‘Preparing for Yoga’ video, which details what to expect, and how to get started.
Plus, there is even a family friendly yoga session too (#38 Jungle Yoga for Kids).
Or for those wanting something a little more energetic, find beginner HIIT and Bootcamp sessions too. Please ensure a full warm up is undertaken before participating in these videos as well as a cool down afterwards.
With any of the online videos, please ensure the workout area and any equipment is safe, hazard free, and the activity is suitable for you.
