Staying active
Off The Couch is our new fitness series to help us all to stay fit - or get fit.
Some of Ireland’s leading trainers, physios, fitness experts, sportspeople and other friends of the show will be sharing their top tips in straight-to-the-point and easy to use videos - which will go live across or social channels every day at lunchtime.
Here are the videos so far:
Yesterday Bellator fighter Will Fleury shared a high-pace MMA workout.
On Monday, it was the turn of Longford footballer Mickey Quinn who presented a GAA skill challenge.
He also joined OTB AM this morning to talk about the lack of the use of flashy moves in the GAA.
