My name is Anand and I am a local Luton resident.

During the Covid-19 pandemic and national lockdowns it was really challenging to be active, I tried to make sure I went for a walk at least once a day during the pandemic to get out and see the town. Some days it was tough as I have serious existing health issues, however, I pushed myself to get out for my walks and I also tried light exercise at home.

With the gradual easing of restrictions, I recently got back into Frisbee, flying disc throwing and nerf ball which I thoroughly enjoy. I usually spend 30 to 40 minutes a few times each week playing and it helps me feel better physically and emotionally providing a sense of achievement and fun to my week. I regularly walk down to one of my local parks in Luton to enjoy the scenery and then play Frisbee which really helps boost my confidence and mood.

I would love to encourage others to be active and that it is never too late to try something new or fall in love with an activity you used to play when you were younger- #LutonLetsGetActive
