Mark Eastwood MP INVITES YOU TO #StayInWorkOut
Dewsbury MP Mark Eastwood has encouraged residents in Dewsbury, Denby Dale, Kirkburton and Mirfield to stay healthy and improve their mood by supporting a new national campaign inspiring people to do exercise during the coronavirus (COVID19) outbreak.
With people mostly confined to their own home following the latest government advice, Sport England’s ‘Join the Movement’ campaign will give people fun and creative ideas on how to get active at home and encourage them to share their own experiences and join the movement online using the hashtag #StayInWorkOut.
Launching with a strong social and digital presence, the campaign will have its own online hub to give access to a range of home workout options – including existing free exercise content and advice from organisations such as the NHS, and workouts from popular fitness brands and influencers such as Les Mills on Demand, Joe Wicks (The Body Coach) and FiiT, many of whom are offering free content and extended trials to help people get easy access to home exercise.
The campaign will also encourage people to go outside close to where they live for one session of exercise a day, alone or with their household, as the Prime Minister set out earlier this week, whether that’s simply for a walk, a jog or a cycle.
Backed by the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and funded by The National Lottery, Join the Movement will kick off with motivational imagery of people getting active and slogans such as “Join the family balancing act” and “No kit, no uniforms, no wrong moves.”
Dewsbury MP Mark Eastwood said:
“I’m proud to support Sport England’s Join the Movement campaign because being active can improve your physical health, help manage stress and anxiety and generally makes people feel better.
Everyone can use the #StayInWorkOut hashtag to access a range of home workout resources and to share images of the creative ways they’re taking part at home or in the local area. The best will be chosen and used in the campaign’s advertising over the coming weeks and it would be great to see people from the Dewsbury constituency represented in the national campaign.” Mark Eastwood MP

About Sport England
Sport England is a public body and invests up to £300 million National Lottery and government money each year in projects and programmes that help people get active and play sport. It wants everyone in England, regardless of age, background, or level of ability, to feel able to engage in sport and physical activity. That’s why a lot of its work is specifically focused on helping people who do no, or very little, physical activity and groups who are typically less active - like women, disabled people and people on lower incomes.
