Gyms are closed and the weather is miserable, but those are not excuses to be lazy this winter.
As much as we would all prefer to curl up on the sofa while we wait for this pandemic to (finally) end, physical exercise is extremely important to keep those endorphins coming and maintain, not only our body but our mind in shape.
While we hope that our favourite gyms and yoga studios will be able to reopen soon, there are a lot of gyms to follow, independent trainers to hire and free resources to check out on youtube that you can use to start moving again. From full-on yoga retreats to Zumba classes and even pole dance initiations, it’s impossible not to find something that will make you tick.
If fitness is so crucial for our wellbeing during the lockdown, choosing the right sportswear could be a game-changer for both you and the planet. Most fitness gear is made of plastic which means that is producing a lot of waste when it gets to the landfill but also an incredible amount of microplastic waste every time we wash our clothes in the washing machine.
Thanks to technology and a few pretty cool small business owners, we have an incredible amount of choices when it comes to choosing eco-friendly sportswear and sustainable leggings in particular.
While you google the best pilates classes on youtube, we found the best ethical and sustainable leggings you can buy now to get moving (in your living room).
