Thanks to the beautiful weather during the first lockdown, many Flemings went walking, jogging or cycling. In these wet winter months, however, it is less obvious to keep moving. Many people are forced to work from home and do not have to travel to work by bike or on foot. Our favourite gym or sports club remains closed, so the usual exercise routine is dropped. It is therefore not surprising that a larger group of people are less active than they used to be before the coronary measures. But because our well-being in this corona crisis has never been under so much pressure and other leisure activities (e.g. culture, family visits) are on hold, it is more important than ever to keep moving. In this report, we take a closer look at the evolution of our activity level since the summer and its protective role for our well-being. To this end, we analyse the results of the motivation barometer as of July 2020 (total number of participants = 86 296, average age 49.35, 18 - 100 years, 68.1% women1) and conclude with a series of recommendations on how to keep moving in these difficult circumstances.
