The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many people to stay at home, with much less socializing and exercise.

      The COVID-19 pandemic means that many of us spend more time at home and sitting still than ever before.Many people find it difficult to exercise as they usually do.It's even harder for people who don't usually exercise.
But at such times, it is important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible.Who's "Stay Active" campaign is designed to help you do this and have some fun at the same time.
Remember: After sitting for a long time, taking a break and doing three to four minutes of low-intensity physical activity, such as walking or stretching, will help to relax muscles, improve blood circulation and muscle activity.

Regular physical activity also increases bone and muscle strength and improves balance, flexibility and fitness.For older adults, activities that improve balance can help prevent falls and injuries.
Regular physical activity helps to have a daily routine and is a way to stay in touch with family and friends.It's also good for our mental health -- reducing the risk of depression and cognitive decline and delaying the development of dementia, while improving overall well-being.
