Lock-down weight gain help

Another summer draws to a close and a new school term is under way! As a former teacher, September always represents a new start, a time for change, a time to re-enthuse. With so much in the media over the last few weeks about the level of inactivity in the UK population, September’s ‘new beginnings’ presents the perfect opportunity to start a new exercise regime!
 
According to latest research from the COVID Symptom Study app, almost a third (29%) of those surveyed gained weight since March 2020.
Whilst this might not come as a surprise to many of you, the impact on our health and wellbeing is huge particularly at a time when we should be keeping ourselves as fit and healthy as possible! The research found that an average increase in body weight across the country being 0.78 kg (1.6 lbs), and up to 3 kg (6.5 lbs) in those who reported increased snacking have gained weight. The factors that may have contributed to weight gain during lockdown include increased snacking (35%), decreased levels of physical activity (34%), increased alcohol.
 
At the beginning of lockdown, we created a membership site, which included a 21 Day challenge to try to help you all create a healthy routine.  We will be updating this content over the coming weeks, but it will definitely help you get the ball rolling! https://carlb1381c.clickfunnels.com/membership-area/ad7030de4f2
