Exercise in the time of Covid

BBC Radio 4 - Inside Health, Exercise in the time of Covid

How to get back to exercise after recovering from Covid-19. Online physio to stop falls.

How to get back to exercise after recovering from Covid-19. Online physio to stop falls. And how exercise has changed during the pandemic. Presented by James Gallagher.

It’s an exercise special on Inside Health. This week Amanda wants to know how quickly she can get back to exercising after Covid. Dr David Salman has drawn up some advice and Dr Navjoyt Ladher explains why this virus means we should be taking it easy, as well as having a shocking confession of her own. We check in on George, Jen and Dr Helen Hawley-Hague to see how they are getting on with their physiotherapy in the height of lockdown. And we explore with Sport England’s Tim Hollingsworth what the pandemic can teach us about improving exercise levels. Oh and I think I nearly broke our resident GP Margaret McCartney talking about 'adaptogens'.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
