[Estellemac]

I got this in an email to [e-mail]. Its from Active Leeds and medippibr. I hope you all find it useful.

Dear all,

We have been passed the following information by Leeds Active which we thought may be of interest to you or your friends and family. It outlines some of the ways you can keep active and well during this challenging time.

Good afternoon,

Hope you, your colleagues and your family are well.

During these uncertain times the Health Programmes team at Active Leeds are aiming to ensure that you, your colleagues and service users still have the opportunity to take part in physically activity. Currently, physical activity, might not be priority so if we can provide support for anything else please feel free to get in touch with us and we will endeavour to help.

Our Health and Wellbeing Coaches have been working and developing video content to help older adults to stay active, the following link will take you to the ‘Active Leeds Health at Home’ page. The page will provide information on remaining active and health and wellbeing – with a list of services that might provide support during this time: active.leeds.gov.uk/healthy...

The following link takes you directly to the Active Leeds YouTube channel where we have uploaded video content for older adults to follow at home: youtube.com/playlist?list=P... . If you are working with other population groups the Active Leeds page and other useful links (below) should provide further support.

On the video list we have Tai Chi, Deskercise – stretching exercises (useful for those working from home), Introduction to Pilates and Chair Based exercises. Please keep an eye on this channel as we will be regularly uploading more videos (on a daily and weekly basis.)

The last 3 don't work - you might have to copy the link from another source. I've had the same problem too.

[Estellemac in reply to PMRpro]

I had to click on them repeatedly then they worked could be traffic to the site. I just copied the original source email from Gwynn Cracknell from PPI I’ll have another look. Thanks.
