B
So
glad
you
could
join
us
for
the
live
show.
Today,
we've
got
our
expert
on
physical
activity.
Dr.
Fiona,
bull
with
us
joining
us
by
Skype
here
and
I
am
in
WTO
headquarters,
although
I'm
not
outside
it
might
look
a
little
bit
like
I
am,
but
I
am
actually
here
in
our
TV
studio.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us.
As
we
know
many
places
around
the
world
right
now,
people
are
being
asked
to
stay
at
home.
B
B
You
so,
and
maybe
you
could
tell
our
audience
a
little
bit
and
then
hopefully
we're
going
to
get
some
questions
if
you
have
any
questions,
just
put
fill
them
in
in
the
comments
box.
Why
is
physical
activity
important
to
people
and
why
is
it
important
to
stay
healthy
during
this
period
of
kovat
19?
Well,.
C
Firstly,
it's
our
physical
health,
so
physical
activity
by
being
regularly
active
every
day,
helps
us
maintain
the
muscular
health
mate
helps
us
maintain
cardiovascular,
health
and
in
fact,
every
system
of
our
body
is
improved
by
being
regularly
active
and
that
prevents
long-term
chronic
disease,
which
is
really
important,
but
there's
the
acute
benefits
we
feel
better
and
it
therefore
it
helps
our
mood
can
help
us
sleep
and
they're
all
really
important
for
everyone,
young
and
old.
So
a
central
message
has
been
to
stay
active
through
kovat,
and
now
your
questions
are
going
to
be
about.
C
B
We
can
exercise
if
we're
by
ourselves
outside
of
where
we
want
pretty
much
just
avoiding
crowds,
but
in
other
countries
people
are
really
encouraged,
is
to
stay
at
home
and
they
can't
move
at
all.
So
perhaps
we
can
look
at
those
two
cases
if
people
are
can
leave
the
house
for
a
little
bit
of
time
every
day.
What's
our
recommendation?
Let's
talk
about
that
first
well,.
C
Really
doing
what
you
enjoy
so
for
everyone
that
might
be
taking
a
walk,
take
a
walk
by
yourself
or
with
your
family.
Take
the
walk
with
the
dog.
Of
course,
he'll
often
be
asking
for
that
walk,
but
getting
outside
is
good
for
getting
fresh
air
and,
of
course,
good
for
the
physical
activity
you
can
get
if
you
enjoy
running
well
of
course,
then
go
for
a
run.
It's
really
important
to,
of
course,
adhere
to
the
physical
distancing
requirements
of
your
local
neighborhood
or
your
country,
rules
and
regulations.
C
They
can
also
be
restrictions
of
what
time
of
day
and
where
you
can
go,
and
unfortunately,
because
sometimes
people
are
not
adhering
to
the
physical
distancing,
local
governments
are
needing
to
close
down
some
of
the
parks
and
use
of
equipment,
but
it's
all
to
do
with
saving
our
lives
and
protecting
health
us.
So
we
must
be
had
here
by
those,
but
it
still
leaves
plenty
of
opportunities
and
use
those
get
out
every
day.
If
you
can
walk,
is
great
for
your
health,
cycling
or
running
is
another
alternative
or
even
skipping,
which
I
enjoy
excellent.
C
Well,
actually,
w-h-o
has
guidelines
and
we
recommend
children
are
active
for
an
hour
a
day
and
adults
try
and
accumulate
150
minutes
a
week,
but
it's
simpler
to
say,
30
minutes
on
most
days,
so
everyone
getting
out
doing
half
an
hour
up
to
an
hour
will
be
really
good
for
your
health
help.
You
sleep
better
help.
You
feel
better.
Indeed,.
B
C
This
is
where
we're
all
having
to
be
more
creative
and
that's
where
some
of
the
online
materials
become
really
useful,
and
we
know
schools
are
providing
PE
classes
and
other
sports
clubs
and
sports
facilities
are
even
opening
up
their
online
materials
and
a
lot
of
the
media.
Our
sources
are
developing
and
creating
these
materials.
Social
media,
of
course,
is
sharing
ideas.
What
are
the
simplest
ways?
C
Walk
around
the
home
if
you
have
stairs
go
up
and
down
them,
look
at
every
opportunity
to
move
ideally
break
you
a
long
time
spent
sitting
and
stand
up,
I'm
standing
up
now,
because
I've
spent
many
hours
on
Zoom
and
webinars
etc
for
work.
So
we
have
to
think
every
day
now
about
standing
up
as
often
as
we
can
moving
around
make
tasks.
Take
a
little
bit
longer.
Do
things
carry
one
or
two
things
and
go
back
more
times,
just
look
for
opportunities.
C
B
I,
didn't
you
mentioned
zoom
and
video
conferences
and
things
that
we're
all
doing
for
our
work.
Some
some
colleagues
of
mine
here
in
Geneva
that
I
run
with
the
lazy
boys
they're
doing
actually
group
core
fitness
sessions
once
a
week
together
by
videoconference
so
they're
with
people
all
over
the
world.
One
person's
in
Australia,
one
person
see
in
Switzerland,
others
are
in
France,
but
yet
they're
still
doing
activities
together.
So
it's
social
distancing
but
they're
still
managing
to
get
that
social
feeling
of
doing
an
activity
with
other
people.
B
C
You
both
download
and
do
a
class
together
and,
like
you
with
your
group,
do
it
with
your
family,
because
they'll
appreciate
being
active,
I've
got
colleagues
who
are
now
being
more
active
with
their
kids
than
they've
ever
been
before,
so
having
friends
having
family
joining
in
something
on
the
on
the
live
streaming
does
make
it
more.
Enjoyable
does
connect
you,
and
it
will
help
you
start
and
remembering
getting
started
is
often
the
worst,
because
then
you're
always
very
pleased
with
yourself
when
you've
finished
and
you'll
feel
better.
Indeed,.
B
We
actually
have
a
comment
from
one
of
our
viewers,
Fox
Arlene
she's,
talking
about
doing
virtual
walks,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
that
is
walking
virtually
within
the
home
with
with
her
friends
and
family
or
if
it's
walking
by
herself
out
in
nature
and
then
talking
to
someone,
perhaps
on
the
phone
or
through
messaging,
chats
or
something.
So
you
could
actually
walk
and
talk,
even
though
you're
by
yourself
anyway,
walk
the
talk
force.
C
I
actually
use
the
the
time
walking
as
a
time
to
also
connect
with
family
and
friends
by
taking
phone
calls
and
chatting.
So
as
you
you're
example,
we
can
be
socially
connected
while
still
being
active
and
a
plan
applying
the
physical
distancing
so
think
about
all
of
these
ideas
and
really
I
recommend
everyone
share
your
ideas
and
look
on
social
media
and
websites,
because
there's
really
lots
out
there.
B
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
questions
are
just
coming
in
now.
We
really
appreciate
those
reminder
if
you
joined
us
a
little
bit
late,
which
is
a
Facebook
Twitter,
periscope
Linkedin,
whatever
live
from
WH
o
on
the
importance
of
staying
physically
active
during
these
days
of
coronavirus,
where
often
people
are
isolated
and
having
to
spend
more
time
at
home.
Dr.
bull
one
question
I
have
is
what
is
w
Cho's
role
in
supporting
people
during
this
time?
B
C
Well,
thank
thank
thank
you,
Chris,
because
this
is
really
important.
One
of
the
first
things
we've
been
doing
is
making
sure
that
the
message
about
staying
healthy,
along
with,
of
course,
looking
after
your
healthy
diet
and
all
the
other
important
aspects
of
health,
has
been
key
in
dr.
Ted
Ross's
messages
to
help
us
understand
and
to
remind
us
about
the
importance,
and
then
we've
put
that
on
paper.
So
we
have
a
Q&A
section
on
the
covin
website.
C
The
wh
oak
Kovach
web
pages,
Q&A
section
has
got
some
of
the
details
we're
talking
about
now
we
put
that
there
to
inform
everyone,
but
what
we
know
is
a
lot
of
our
regional
offices
and
countries
are
taking
that
information,
translating
it
and
getting
it
out
into
their
local
languages
and
communities.
A
second
area
is
not
just
in
that
formal
way,
but
through
social
media
and
I
hope
we
can
circulate
some
of
our
social
media
tiles.
Our
short
messages
about
three
minute
breaks
stand
up
more
often
go
for
a
walk
and
keep
active.
C
Those
social
tiles.
We've
also
set
a
campaign
which
is
be
active
and
we
know
our
colleagues
in
FIFA
have
been
working
with
us
to
ensure
you
know
whether
it's
your
best
sportsman
in
the
world
or,
just
like
me,
just
a
regular
active
person.
We
all
need
to
be
active
everyday
and
we're
looking
to
work
with
partners
like
FIFA,
like
the
sports
industry,
like
many
other
sports,
to
get
the
message
out
to
help
people.
After
all,
we
can't
go
to
those
clubs.
C
B
A
lot
of
the
runners
that
I
follow
on
social
media
are
doing
these
workouts
at
home.
Right
now,
I've
actually
tried
a
few,
and,
and
some
of
them
are
quite
tough.
You
know-
and
it's
good
it's
great-
that
almost
everyone
is
in
the
same
situation,
if
you're
in
a
country
where
the
guidance
from
your
government
is
to
stay
inside,
it's
the
same
for
athletes,
it's
the
same
for
almost
everyone,
so
everyone
is
a
bit
in
the
same
boat.
So
there
is
certainly
something
dr.
Ted
Rose
talks
about
a
lot
the
Solidarity
coming
back.
B
We
have
a
question
here
from
Kara
on
a
who's
in
Texas,
and
it
goes
a
bit
to
your
point.
The
places
that
they
run
in
are
more
and
more
limited
where
they're
living
the
tracks
are
closed
at
schools.
Some
parks
are
closed.
We
see
that
in
Geneva
here
as
well,
and
if
you
don't
want
to
run
on
pavement
or
Asheville
all
the
time,
and
you
can't
get
to
parks
any
advice
on
how
they
can
keep
running,
even
though
the
space
is
much
more
reduced.
C
C
Think
it's
about
just
being
creative
and
why
not
pose
your
question
and
get
other
people
to
help
answer
it,
but
keep
keep
active,
keep
trying
and
look
for
those
opportunities
that
you
can
be
active
and
mix
it
up
a
little
bit.
Take
another
type
of
activity
and
break
up
the
running
with
perhaps
doing
some
some
strength,
muscle,
strength,
exercise
as
well.
I
think.
B
That's
great
advice:
I
was
thinking
of
the
same
thing,
so
if
you
have
left's
best
instance,
you
can't
go
for
longer
runs.
You
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
creative
about
the
shorter
runs
that
you
do.
Maybe
do
interval
training
a
little
bit.
Mixing
it
up
doing
some
CrossFit
freeletics
is
something
that
I've
done
in
the
past.
B
Where
you
don't
need
any
equipment,
you
need
a
little
bit
of
space,
but
you
can
do
shorter,
runs
and
mix
it
up
with
sit-ups
and
push-ups
and
burpees,
and
this
and
that-
and
it
really
is
a
great
workout
and,
like
you
said
it
mixes
up
the
sports
a
little
bit
I'm.
Going
back
to
your
point
about
walking
as
well.
Walking
is
very
good
exercise
for
many
people.
B
C
C
We
can
do
things
using
the
chair
in
the
lounge
room
of
a
dining
room
where
you
can
use
the
chair
for
balance,
and
then
you
can
start
to
do
some
of
those
exercises.
Some
of
it
might
be
stretching
mobility,
so
you're
moving
your
arms
opening
up
increasing
your
respiration.
So
you
start
to
reduce
this
levels
of
stress
and
then
reduce
the
levels
of
sort
of
contraction
as
we
sit
for
longer
and
longer
periods.
So
there
are
resources
and
again
to
help
people,
even
if
they've
got
limitations
to
be
active
in
the
home.
Excellent.
B
We
have
a
question
or
comment
as
well
from
Marlene
who's
in
Winnipeg,
Canada,
Thank,
You
Marlene,
for
your
comment,
I'm
actually
from
Canada
myself.
So
it
gives
me
pleasure
to
read
your
comment.
She
is
at
one
month
in
now
at
staying
home
and
they're
allowed
to
go
outside
for
exercise
and
they're
walking
everyday.
What
could
we
say
to
encourage
her
to
keep
to
keep
up
to
keep
this
up?
Okay,.
C
C
Maybe
that's
a
distance
so
that
you
can
roughly
count
out
how
many
steps
you're
doing
it's
often
around
about
a
thousand
every
ten
minutes,
or
maybe
you
have
one
of
those
pedometer
devices,
but
setting
a
goal
is
a
really
nice
way
and
just
stretch
it
to
something
a
little
bit
further
than
you
thought,
and
that
will
be
something
to
strive
towards
and
then
put
yourself
a
little
reward
at
the
end
of
it,
because
we
know
that
that's
really
motivating
and
can
help
you
stick
to
a
stick
to
an
ambition
that
you've
got.
Do.
C
W-H-O
is
always
presented
the
guidelines
as
minutes,
because
this
has
been
the
typical
way
in
which
we
have
measured
and
researched
the
evidence,
but
the
step
idea
has
come
in
and
of
course,
become
very
popular
and
quite
well
understood.
So
many
of
the
people
listening
in
and
joining
us
would
probably
know
10,000
steps
and
it's
a
broad
figure,
because
it
really
shows
that
when
you
do
the
activity
around
that
the
other
day
and
you're
active
for
that
thirty
minutes,
I
mentioned
for
adults,
it's
approximately
the
ten
thousand.
C
Now,
if
ten
thousand
is
too
much,
you
just
pull
it
back
and
do
what
you
can
do
and
aim
for
ten
thousand
in
the
future,
but
it's
very
nice
to
count
in
steps,
particularly
if
you
have
one
of
those
devices
or
your
watch
is
that
is
giving
you
that
feedback,
but
otherwise
minutes
done
minutes
is
just
as
good
ten
minutes.
Five
minutes.
Three
lots
of
ten
minutes
is
your
thirty
minutes
a
day.
Excellent.
B
So
we've
talked
about
older
adults.
We've
talked
about
adults.
Now
we're
getting
many
many
questions
on
children,
I
got
a
row
and
Celine
hissa.
Thank
you
for
your
questions
and
thanks
for
joining
today,
we're
looking
for
recommendations,
ways
to
motivate
kids
ways
to
have
them,
do
different
exercises
within
the
home
and,
let's
say
garden,
even
if
we're
lucky
enough
to
have
a
garden
go
ahead.
Yes,.
C
Well,
look
of
course
children
always
want
variety
and
interest
and
enjoyment,
so
it
can
exhaust
what
we
know
about
for
this
long
period
of
time.
We're
experienced
so
do
look
on
the
web,
because
there
are
an
enormous
amount
of
resources.
W-H-O
doesn't
sort
of
develop
its
own
resources,
because
we
know
that
there
are
many
professional
groups
who
are
very
good
at
this,
and
so
I
do
invite
you
to
look
at
the
resources
and
I've
done
it.
Myself
just
simply
use
a
search
engine,
and
you
will
find
lots
of
examples.
C
I
think
you
need
to
make
it
into
a
game
rather
than
call
it
exercise,
particularly
if
your
children
are
not
so
keen
on
that
again
set
a
goal,
make
a
challenge
so
that
they
actually
have
to
reach
and
do
something
that's
a
little
bit
harder
or
more
for
them
and
they'll
find
rewarding
and
challenging,
making
it
fun.
Of
course.
So
if
you,
if
you
join
in
with
them,
they
will
enjoy
that
you
mentioned
gardening
and
getting
out
in
the
garden.
C
C
So
if
your
community
allows
you
to
go
out
and
it's
safe,
then
why
not
get
children
back
onto
bicycles,
because
the
long-term
benefit
of
that
will
be
they'll
enjoy
cycling,
it's
an
activity
you
can
do
together
and
for
a
lot
over
the
life
course
and
it's
a
way
of
transport.
So
there's
a
really
good
opportunity
to
get
out.
The
old
bikes
buy
a
new
bike
if
you
can
borrow
a
bike
and
and
but
use
bicycles
as
a
way
of
being
active
and
learning
that
really
good
skill.
Indeed,.
B
So
I
just
a
reminder:
everyone,
this
is
the
face.
Wto
live
event
on
physical
activity
in
the
home
in
the
time
of
corona.
This
is
part
of
the
healthy
at
home
series
of
activities
that
were
promoting
you're
welcome
to
join
using
the
hashtag
healthy
at
home.
We
had
a
nice
very
nice
message
from
Kiera
Selma,
a
student
watching
us
from
Morocco
merci
beaucoup
de
Voivod,
massagers,
wind
or
volley
so
students
and
all
people
who
are
working
from
home,
often
they're
on
a
schedule.
B
You
know
they've
got
deadlines,
it's
complicated
to
squeeze
in
that
that
physical
activity,
what
would
your
advice
be
to
them
in
terms
of
making
the
most
of
this
and
just
being
motivated?
Would
it
be
doing
it
at
the
same
time
every
day
or
you
know
once
a
week?
What
would
your
recommendations
be?
Dr.,
Bob,
well,.
C
No
I'm
still
gonna
stay
with
the
same
message:
Chris
it's
going
to
be
every
day
and
looking
for
ways
to
include
it
so
make
an
appointment,
we're
all
getting
lots
of
back-to-back
teleconferences
now
and
myself
included.
So
we've
got
to
look
for
ways
to
have
five
minutes
to
be
active,
so
either
take
five
minutes
in
between
or
and
even
encourage
with,
my
staff
we're
having
stand-up
activities
at
the
beginning
of
a
meeting
so
that
we
can
be
active
together.
C
C
Good,
but
you
know
Chris
I've
got
a
question.
I've
got
a
question
of
whether
people
feel
they're,
more
active
or
less
active.
Now.
Is
it
because
we
don't
know
yet
and
I'm
wondering
whether
people
would
like
to
tell
us
why?
The
by
the
questions,
if
they
feel
they're,
more
active
or
less
active,
and
if
they
have
any
tips
they
can
share?
So
we
can
really
learn
from
everyone.
Listening
in
as
well,
I
think.
B
That's
a
great
idea,
so
if
you
have
any
comments
on
how
you're
coping
with
this
time,
just
stick
it
in
the
comments
field,
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you!
Are
you
more
active
or
less
active,
even
though
we're
in
a
way
less
able
to
be
active?
So
have
you
made
it
a
part
of
this
time
frame
to
force
yourself
to
motivate
yourself
to
be
more
active,
we'd,
be
really
happy
to
learn
about
that
and
what
you
do
to
make
that
happen,
we're
getting
near
the
end
of
our
time.
Like
you
said,
dr.
B
Bobby,
we
have
other
things,
meetings
on
and
not
too
long.
One
question
that
we
didn't
get
to
that
I
really
wanted
an
answer
to
of
the
magic
one
is
on
nutrition,
any
thoughts
on
how
people,
in
terms
of
when
you
around
the
house,
sometimes
it's
a
little
easy
to
do
it
a
little
bit
too
much
snacking
and
things
like
that,
so
any
advice
on
maybe
avoiding
unhealthy,
knocking
or
trying
to
do
some
healthy
snacking
and
just
guidance
on
nutrition
overall
in
this
in
this
time,
well,.
C
The
other
idea,
of
course,
is
to
look
for
putting
clothes
and
visible
fruit
and
things
you
enjoy
the
healthy
alternatives.
When
they're
visible
when
they're
accessible,
we
tend
to
go
to
them
more
easily
than
if
they're
actually,
obviously
tucked
away
and
we've
got
the
chocolate
or
other
crisps
and
crackers
more
closely
available,
so
put
them
away
and
put
healthy
alternatives
and
make
a
little
bargain
with
yourself
that
you
have
to
do
five
minutes
of
activity
first
and
you
may
not
even
want
the
snack
after
it.
Thank.
B
You
so
much
so
again.
If
you
join
us
a
little
bit
late,
we
been
looking
at
ways
to
stay
active
as
words
in
everyone
living
a
little
bit
differently
these
coronavirus
days,
but
many
places
around
the
world.
People
are
being
asked
to
stay
at
home
to
help
stop
the
spread
of
the
virus,
and
this
is
so
important
and
we
really
appreciate
everyone's
efforts
in
in
in
this,
but
also
it's
so
important
to
take
care
of
your
physical
and
mental
health.
B
In
this
time,
we've
had
people
joining
us
today
from
India
United,
States,
Indonesia,
Kenya,
Ecuador,
Nigeria
Lagos,
that's
in
Nigeria,
Singapore,
Ethiopia,
Nepal,
Canada,
yay,
Morocco,
Mozambique,
Australia,
Lebanon,
Turkey,
Croatia,
Azerbaijan,
Ghana,
Poland,
Rwanda,
Dominican,
Republic
Malawi
and
the
United
Kingdom.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
today,
like
dr.
bull,
said,
if
you
have
any
comments
and
and
how
you
motivate
yourself
and
things
you're
doing
a
little
bit
differently,
stick
them
in
the
comments
box,
we'd
love
to
read
about
it.
B
C
To
repeat
that,
let's
all
try
and
be
active,
and
that
could
be
one
good
thing
that
comes
out
of
this
totally
new
experience
that
we're
all
going
through
around
the
world.
But
if
we
look
after
our
health
and
you're,
looking
after
your
family
and,
of
course,
you're
preventing
and
improving
your
health
for
the
long
term.
So
let's
stay
active.
Thank.
