Barriers
- Sitting all dayWhen work keeps you at a desk, the priority is breaking up long sitting and adding movement around the working day.
- An unpredictable scheduleWhen no two weeks look the same, sport needs to be flexible and portable rather than tied to a fixed class time.
- Limited mobilityWhen movement is limited, gentle, adaptable activity may still be possible — but personal guidance from a qualified professional should come first.
- Worried about costWhen money is tight, free and low-cost activity — walking, running, bodyweight training — proves that sport does not have to be expensive.
