With gyms and leisure centres now closed, and as the UK Government continuing to promote social distancing and self-isolation it has never been more important to stay fit and healthy.

However, home workouts can prove difficult, with limited space and the inventible lack of motivation both playing a big part.

We have asked three fitness experts from across the Fylde coast to come up with space friendly workouts to help keep you motivated and moving during the next few weeks.

Before you dive right in, keep in mind that most of these workouts are designed for people who are generally fit and well, and if you are new to exercise or have an existing medical conditions or injury you should check with a doctor before starting any new exercise. Should you feel unwell, stop immediately.
