IMPACT OF THE COVID ON THE PRACTICE OF SPORTS
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 health crisis, the practice of physical activity among the population has drastically dropped, and for good reason, people were no longer allowed to leave their homes.
Moreover, not everyone has a treadmill or fitness machine at home. Therefore, continuing to exercise at home has not been easy. However, following the movement, several brands have adapted and offered creative solutions to overcome the problem.

NEW SPECIAL LOCKDOWN PRODUCTS
If it's the physical activity side that you miss the most, you should know that many sports equipment companies have started to think about the problem.
More and more brands have reinvented themselves to offer you sports equipment at reasonable prices in a compact, easy-to-store format that is practical for smaller homes and, above all, multifunctional, so that you can do the widest possible range of exercises.

STAY FIT WITH YOUR FRIENDS ONLINE
However, if it is the social side of sport that you are missing, many teachers, companies or associations offer videoconference fitness courses, so that you and your friends can let off steam together, and thus cope with the separation and isolation imposed on us by current health measures.

KEEP YOUR CHILDREN BUSY AND HAPPY
On the other hand, it is probably for the children that the most has been done. With the lockdown, and not being able to leave the house, your children get bored, and distracting them is not always easy.
That's why many sites and YouTube channels offer physical and play activities that are adapted to social distancing and the rules imposed by COVID. Dan Batty's channel is a very good example.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO STAY ACTIVE IS ONLINE
Moreover, the importance of physical activity is constantly being stressed by most health organisations, while European governments themselves are providing their citizens with the means to monitor their physical health.
Through advice, tips, and recommendations of all kinds, they explain to people how to stay in shape without moving from home. For example, the UK government has made a whole document available here : UK Government - Sport Tips

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ; )
Whatever your age, and whatever your motivations, continuing to do sport without getting discouraged during this difficult period is the key to staying in shape. And many solutions now exist to allow you to do what you used to do outside from home.
Whether it's multifunctional sports equipment, online fitness classes, or simply websites and documentation that remind you of the most important parts of your body, the internet is full of treasures of creativity and inventiveness to help everyone escape into a world without COVID. And as hard as this crisis may be to go through, tell yourself that sooner or later we will return to the world we all knew before.
