冈本视频active has launched a virtual programme of activities to continue to support the 冈本视频 community through the second national lockdown.
冈本视频active is a free, weekly recreational sport and fitness programme that runs throughout the academic year and is open to all staff and students at 冈本视频.
Emilie Fairnington, 冈本视频’s Sport Project Coordinator – Participation, said: “We are over the moon that we are able to continue to support staff and students to stay active, stay connected and look after their wellbeing during the second national lockdown through the launch of the 冈本视频active virtual offer.
“We wanted to ensure that we provided fun safe activity for everyone within the 冈本视频 community so have created three strands to the offer to help us achieve this: the 冈本视频active Virtual Timetable, #Keep冈本视频active and How to with 冈本视频active."
Read on to find out more about 冈本视频active’s virtual offer.
冈本视频active Virtual Timetable
We have developed a virtual timetable of recreational sports activities with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Leisure Centre. Similar to the regular weekly timetable, there will be a variety of free, live sessions for all 冈本视频 students and staff.
You can join all sessions from the comfort of your own home, but we do ask that you are aware of your surroundings and have enough room to safely join in the sessions. We also recommend that you warm-up and stretch before joining a session virtually to prevent injury.
You don't have to sign up to a session before attending as you can access the virtual live sessions via the or by downloading the 冈本视频 Leisure app. For the stretching and basic gymnastic conditioning sessions, you can access them .
If you are unsure of what a session is you can read the session descriptions here. See the 冈本视频active virtual timetable below.
#Keep冈本视频active
Through the #Keep冈本视频active initiative, that was launched during the first national lockdown, we will be providing 冈本视频 staff and students with free workout videos that they can do whenever best works for them. From pilates to Zumba to fitness home workouts, there will be something for everyone!
Participants can take a look at #Keep冈本视频active content on .
‘How to’ with 冈本视频active
The How to with 冈本视频active initiative will help 冈本视频 staff and students to develop their skills and enhance their knowledge of a specific activity, and to encourage them to keep active while we are unable to deliver face-to-face sessions.
From how to do a chest pass to how to hold a badminton racket, our 冈本视频active and Active League activator volunteers will be creating online content that you can easily follow.
You can find How to with 冈本视频active content across our social media channels, on , and Facebook: 冈本视频active.
Emilie added: "It's been fantastic to see so much positivity surrounding the initiative and we would love to continue to hear what people are doing to look after their wellbeing during lockdown, just tag us in your post and use #Keep冈本视频active.
"I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all the 冈本视频active activators, Active League activators, 冈本视频active instructors and 冈本视频 Leisure for all their hard work on helping to make this virtual offer possible."
