Go for a walk

If it’s around the area of your home to somewhere quiet with one person from your household, this is the only time you may escape the walls of your home other than shopping for necessities, helping vulnerable people or for essential work. A walk once a day in the fresh air will do both your mind and body the world of good, so ensure you make the most of being outside while we’re lucky enough to have the weather for it! You don’t need to run to burn off those extra calories you’ve been eating over lockdown, walking will do the job especially if you have the baby strapped to your back and the dog on a lead.

Bake

Because nothing beats the feeling you get when eating cake baked by yourself. If you didn’t plan on baking so don’t have the ingredients you’d usually use, try experimenting with whatever you have left in the house. Did you know you can even use fruit pulp leftover from juicing as an ingredient, so while you’re creating something tasty you’re also helping to minimise household waste!
