This week we hear from our President, Laura Blyth.
"I have found it quite difficult in lockdown to motivate myself to be active. I usually go to the gym a few times a week as one of my main hobbies is eating, therefore it is important to balance it out.
I was starting to feel a lot more stressed and lethargic so I needed something to kick start my motivation. I purchased a Fitbit to help me track my steps and set myself a daily goal of walking 10,000 steps a day. As I have recently moved, it is a great way to explore my surroundings and get away from my laptop for a while each day.
I have also jumped on the home workout hype and have tried various different ones. I am three weeks into Pamela Reif’s 45 minute Fat Burn weekly workouts and loving it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a workout that isn’t all jumping up and down and doing burpees (spoiler: there is some burpees).

Some other great ones are Courtney Black and Mark Wright’s lives on Instagram.
