Why it’s important

Covid-19 has given us all a huge wake-up call this year. Evidence has emerged that people who are inactive and overweight, and contract Covid-19 are more likely to be admitted to hospital. Due to the pandemic, engaging in physical activity is now recognised as being essential to our health and wellbeing.
