Everyone is stressed at the moment and are not sleeping well. Exercise can decrease stress and anxiety. Moving will likely improve your sleep.

Keeping fit

Health

<ul>
<li>If you are under 70 with no underlying conditions, you can walk the dog, go for a run or a bike ride, provided you keep your distance.</li>
<li>If you are over 70 and self-isolating, or pregnant, or having an underlying health condition but feel well, you can also go outside for exercise while keeping your distance.</li>
<li>If you have symptoms, or someone in your household has them, it is essential to use movement and activity while isolating yourself.</li>
<li>If you are unwell, use your energy to get better, but not to be active.</li>
<li>If you are feeling better after having had the virus, return to your regular routine gradually.</li>
