#24DaysActive to promote good mental health

On 1st of April Sport in Mind launched a brand-new initiative: #24DaysActive - a wellbeing initiative to encourage everyone to keep active during this extended period at home. The concept was really simple - 24 days of different, fun, easy to do, at home tasks. 

For Day 24 and our final #24DaysActive task, we ask you to choose 5 of the activities you've already done over the last 23 days - see below a list of all the fun activities and pick your 5. 

1. Skipping (24 skips)

3. Shadow boxing
4. Tennis ball keep ups on the frame of racket – 24 times
5. Walk (2k steps)
6. Step ups (24 sets)
