By Tara Underhill -

From the organisers of Beat the Street Chesterfield, Beat the Bug is a new health & wellbeing programme designed to help you and your family stay active and well during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Beat the Bug has been created by Intelligent Health. Intelligent Health was founded by Dr William Bird MBE, a frontline NHS doctor, global expert in physical fitness and advisor to the World Health Organisation and Public Health England.

Those wanting to stay up to date with the latest Coronavirus advice, receive tips and advice about staying healthy or those seeking fun ideas for activities you can do at home, can sign up for a weekly Beat the Bug newsletter to help people of all ages during the Coronavirus outbreak.

The Beat the Bug Facebook page is updated daily with new activities and is host to a number of regular online events such as ‘ABC Animal Yoga’ and ‘Bedtime Yoga’ for children and all ages ‘Mobilise Yourself’ yoga classes.

If you or your children want to ask Dr William Bird a question about Coronavirus/COVID-19, or about how to improve your physical or emotional wellbeing, or even if you’ve got a top tip to share with other families, he is holding regular Facebook Live sessions.
