In this podcast, recorded especially in hybrid times when
many students are self-isolating in their halls and flats, and doing their
learning digitally, I am joined by international fitness trainer Ricky Long.
Ricky and his partner Lyndsey Morrison have put together a team of fitness
experts who are providing streamed workouts especially for those who are stuck
indoors. On most days there are 3 exercise work-outs a day – amazing and all
free of charge to members of the University. Ricky talks about the benefits of
exercise for physical and mental health. He gives us some great tips for
building healthy habits into our lives, structuring our living spaces so that
the chair for studying is different from the place for watching Netflix, and
owning our morning (whatever time the morning starts for us) so that we can own
our day.
