Fitness In Your Front Room
Trying to balance work, family, fitness, healthy eating and the many other demands on our time can feel impossible. And despite most of us being more than aware of its indisputable benefits, it seems fitness is often first in this list to be dropped. Perhaps not surprising when a trip to the gym or a class can take hours out of your day and a sizeable chunk out of your monthly budget.
Over the past few years, a solution to this predicament has started to emerge and is now growing at staggering speed: fitness from your front room! YouTube is awash with channels that provide accessible and achievable exercise routines for free; type ‘exercise’ into the App Store and you’ll be overwhelmed with options.
