COVID-19 Lockdown: CBSE starts first live fitness program class for students

The Central Board of Secondary Education has begun online fitness classes for school students. The live classes were held through YouTube.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has today started the online fitness classes for school students, with an aim to keep them both physically and mentally fit, during this coronavirus lockdown period. 

The CBSE had organized live online fitness classes through YouTube. The live sessions can also be accessed on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Students can also download the sessions, which they can access later as per the convenience.

The first fitness live class was aired today at 9:30 am. The first session was held by Fitness Trainer Aliya Imran. This fitness session will continue for a month. During the session, the trainer also provided daily workout tips to students to keep them active and happy while staying at home. 

Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank' had tweeted yesterday that he had a word with Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, Kiren Rijiju about collaborating with CBSE, to provide students live sessions by experts covering topics like Basic Exercises, Nutrition, Yoga & Meditation, boosting immunity, etc.

With these sessions, the Board is trying to help students to stay in good mental and physical shape during the lockdown. The board had asked all affiliated schools to inform students about the live sessions and encourage students to participate in the activity.

The Board has been trying its best to help students continue their studies during the lockdown. For this, they have also introduced several e-learning methods for teachers to conduct classes for the students, to avoid any academic loss.
