Daily videos on fitness, online yoga courses, Cr Maynard offers a few tips for residents to stay active
Wyndham City Council is helping residents enjoy 30 minutes of exercise daily, while social distancing to reduce the spread of Covid-19.
Sports Development portfolio holder, Cr Peter Maynard, said while residents were not out and about as usual, it was important to keep active physically to support everyone’s health and mental wellbeing.
“Council has developed a new website, Wyndham Together, and together with WynActive, we will show you easy ways to exercise and stay healthy, while keeping up social distancing measures,” Cr Maynard said.
You will have access to free online yoga and Pilates sessions, sports coaching drills, low impact chair-based workouts, and healthy nutrition tips, with a focus on supporting mental wellbeing: Cr Maynard
