The Arc: Health and Fitness online classes
To help us stay fit at home, instructors from the Arc: Health and Fitness are posting daily workouts and streaming free pilates and yoga classes. The daily workouts will be posted on the Arc's Facebook page and the pilates and yoga classes will be delivered via Zoom.
They are also setting fun challenges, such as 100 squats a day.
Kathleen Campbell, the Arc manager, said: "It's really important at this time to keep active during these difficult times, both for your physical and mental health. The workouts are free and no equipment is required and we hope you find them fun and inspiring."
