Brilliant work from Board member @gemmalumsdaine! Finding an alternative way and staying active indoors #StayInWorkOut #StayHome #SheCanSheWill

[Gemma Lumsdaine (she/her) @gemmalumsdaine]

During lockdown 🔒 I have been finding different ways to stay active and keep training.💪🏻 After lots of trial and error we managed to make a set of rollers from 📚 👟 and beanbags.
Here’s a little clip from my HIIT session the other day.

Sexism was still a major problem for equality in football when @CASIO1966 and @LauraMonty4 wanted to set up a club.

The situation has improved but what else could be done to achieve equality?

To prevent the spread of #coronavirus, you should only leave your home for essentials such as food or medicine, for work, or to exercise once a day.

Watch our video on staying safe when exercising ⬇️

[Emma Mahon @emma_mahonn]

Safe to say the current situation has had negative toll on my mental health, like many others.
However, I cannot recommend enough using the one excerise a day we have been given.
For me it clears my mind and gives a sense of normality, in a not so normal situation🏃🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🚴‍♀️

[Dr. Margot McCuaig @MargotMcCuaig]

Each day brings more bad news and as a consequence everyone's anxiety levels are increasing. Please don't underestimate the value of looking after your mind and body through exercise. Even a tiny amount of effort can help. See the @ActiveScotGov infographic below 👇🏼

[Vivienne MacLaren @vivienne7]

Working from home can be full on. You can't just holler across the office or pop over, so lots of calls which can mean sitting A LOT. I did a wee home work out last night & felt so much better. Try to keep active. Get some air & relax when you can. And switch off! #SheCanSheWill

[Gemma Lumsdaine (she/her) @gemmalumsdaine]

We all have different ways of staying active such as going out for a walk/push in the fresh air 🌿or practice your sports skills in the Garden.🏐🏀🎾⚽️

Keeping active is so important during this difficult time as it helps keep our 🧠 and body🧍‍♀️🧍🏻🧑‍🦽👩‍🦽 healthy! #SheCanSheWill

Thanks so much @acj1875 - you’re doing brilliant work. Keeping up the momentum and driving change is hugely important. Women’s Sport deserves a voice, a platform, a place in the media. Let’s hope it continues that way 👍👏👏👏👏 #womensport @sportscotland @SWPL @NicolaSturgeon
