Staying motivated and moving: A webinar on fitness during COVID-19

Did you know that your lifestyle behaviours can reduce the impact of hospitalisation risk related to COVID-19 by up to 11%?

Our experts will talk about why you need to keep moving during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will discuss the physical and mental benefits of exercise in the context of the pandemic, and how to stay motivated. Plus, hear about safe ways to get back into fitness mode after weeks of lockdown.

The expert panel includes:

• Professor of Sports Medicine at Wits, Jon Patricios, is the country’s leading expert on fitness and health, as well as on how exercise impacts the respiratory system, especially in the context of COVID-19.
• Wandisile Nongodlwana, ASICS Frontrunner, and Comrades and Two Oceans silver medallist, on keeping motivated.
• Comrades legend and parkrun ambassador Bruce Fordyce shares how you can adapt your fitness routine to current times.
• Dr Mosima Mabunda, Head of Vitality Wellness, shares Vitality’s special recipe: how the programme is geared for motivation and behavioural change – and how it has gone completely digital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
