“Change is a tricky thing to navigate at the best of times, but it’s more important than ever we prioritise our health and wellbeing during this period of uncertainty.”

“Keeping active and practicing a regular exercise routine is a great way for people across the country to keep their physical and mental health in good shape, especially as isolation starts to take a toll.”

“Research shows that exercise promotes the release of feel-good hormones in your brain such as endorphins and serotonin, which have a plethora of benefits including reducing stress and symptoms of mental health conditions, improving sleep, and giving you more energy.”

Mr Elvish said it was important for everyone to continue to follow the government’s social distancing laws when exercising while also ensuring they keep their personal safety top of mind when working out at home.

“As the fitness sector continues to adapt to only delivering virtual classes and one-on-one outdoor workouts, Fitness Australia’s ‘Keep on Moving’ campaign allows all Australian’s to access professional fitness guidance and training to ensure they can safely workout to remain active in the comfort of their own home.”

“We don’t want anyone to attempt new workouts without professional guidance or feel like they can’t access advice from a registered personal trainer or gym operator. There are so many options out there for people, regardless of their fitness ability or age and the ‘Keep on Moving’ Campaign is about bringing all of that together in one place.”

“With many children now at home and usual Easter holidays approaching, it’s a great time for families to play and exercise together. Make it fun, turn on some music, set up an obstacle course in the backyard or do Yoga in the lounge room. Even with the current social distancing restrictions, households are still encouraged to exercise together.”
