Our final-year sports, coaching, and physical education students were due to deliver a series of community events in Lancashire. After the cancellation of these events, the students and their lecturers wanted to find a way to inspire each other and the community to keep healthy and look after their wellbeing whilst at home.
They created a series of short videos featuring games, activities, and healthy recipes to share and support others. These videos provide something for all tastes, ages, and abilities from ball skills, gymnastics, boxercise, kickboxing, and football.
Mark Christie, a senior lecturer in sport and physical activity development, has used his expertise to create his own videos including a paper Olympics and a baked bean workout. He said “It's tough for everyone right now but fun activities like these are a great way to keep ourselves physically fit, keep our sports skills up to scratch, and also help our mental health at the same time. Years of research show that exercise is good for you both physically and mentally”
We hope you can take inspiration from our students and staff members. Tweet us @cumbriauni to let us know how you find the below activities, games, and recipe tips.
