ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive launches virtual offer to support the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community


ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive has launched a virtual programme of activities to continue to support the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community through the second national lockdown. 

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive is a free, weekly recreational sport and fitness programme that runs throughout the academic year and is open to all staff and students at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø.

Emilie Fairnington, ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø’s Sport Project Coordinator – Participation, said: “We are over the moon that we are able to continue to support staff and students to stay active, stay connected and look after their wellbeing during the second national lockdown through the launch of the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive virtual offer.

“We wanted to ensure that we provided fun safe activity for everyone within the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community so have created three strands to the offer to help us achieve this: the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive Virtual Timetable, #KeepÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive and How to with ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive."

Read on to find out more about ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive’s virtual offer.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive Virtual Timetable

We have developed a virtual timetable of recreational sports activities with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Leisure Centre. Similar to the regular weekly timetable, there will be a variety of free, live sessions for all ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø students and staff.

You can join all sessions from the comfort of your own home, but we do ask that you are aware of your surroundings and have enough room to safely join in the sessions. We also recommend that you warm-up and stretch before joining a session virtually to prevent injury.

You don't have to sign up to a session before attending as you can access the virtual live sessions via the  or by downloading the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Leisure app. For the stretching and basic gymnastic conditioning sessions, you can access them .

If you are unsure of what a session is you can read the session descriptions here.  See the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive virtual timetable below.

#KeepÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive

Through the #KeepÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive initiative, that was launched during the first national lockdown, we will be providing ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø staff and students with free workout videos that they can do whenever best works for them. From pilates to Zumba to fitness home workouts, there will be something for everyone!

Participants can take a look at #KeepÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive content on .

‘How to’ with ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive

The How to with ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive initiative will help ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø staff and students to develop their skills and enhance their knowledge of a specific activity, and to encourage them to keep active while we are unable to deliver face-to-face sessions.

From how to do a chest pass to how to hold a badminton racket, our ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive and Active League activator volunteers will be creating online content that you can easily follow.

You can find How to with ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive content across our social media channels, on ,  and Facebook: ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive.

Emilie added: "It's been fantastic to see so much positivity surrounding the initiative and we would love to continue to hear what people are doing to look after their wellbeing during lockdown, just tag us in your post and use #KeepÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive.

"I would also like to take the opportunity to thank all the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive activators, Active League activators, ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøactive instructors and ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Leisure for all their hard work on helping to make this virtual offer possible."
