During the lockdown(s!) of 2020, we were unable to work with you in person, and we have therefore devised some helpful tools to enable you to stay fit and active at home!
Feel free to send us any photos or videos of your Fitness @ Home set-ups, we love to see how you’re keeping busy!
The below documents contain some background to the different types of activity listed below, how they fit into a programme to improve what you’re doing, how best to use them to maximise the benefits you are obtaining from the activities and some ‘tried and tested’ activity combinations that some of you will recognise from our usual NSAC weekly sessions.
Feel free to read these documents cover to cover if you are interested in learning more about how we put together your normal weekly sessions, or skip to the programmes if you need some quick inspiration!

The 2.6 Challenge
Gene and his brothers have been running a mile everyday on
our driveway. No mean feat as it’s just 10 meters long so there’s a lot of back and forth. They are planning to finish mile 26 on 26 April which would have been when I ran the London Marathon for the St John’s Ambulance.
So far they have raised just shy of £400, mainly from people on our
street who are coming out on Sunday to cheer them on.
Chris & Sophie ran their 2.62miles, Chris wearing a 10kg Weights Vest. Glad to get out and run before the sun got too hot!
Gabby (Nailsea group) has completed 26 tricks on the trampoline,
followed by 26 back bounces.
Check out our ‘Coronavirus Challenge Video’ made from the videos and photos you’ve sent us!
