This year our teens have really suffered, the majority unfortunately, due to the restrictions from COVID-19. It honestly breaks our hearts to hear that they are not getting in the incidental exercise from their day to day activities getting to school and activities but they have lacked the more vigorous and active pursuits of their sports be it basketball, football, netball, dance, hockey, swimming, skate boarding, skiing and so much more! And now that restrictions are lifting, are they fitness ready after the lack of movement and sport?
