The fitness classes will begin from 15 April at 9.30 am. The classes will continue for a month. CBSE has released a notification saying that the objective of the fitness classes is to help children stay fit and healthy while pursuing online classes. “Research shows that doing exercise influences the release and uptake of feel-good chemicals called endorphins in the brain. Even a short burst of 10 minutes physical activities positively increases mental alertness, energy and mood,” read the notification. Students can access these classes on social media sites YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. The Board had also sent a letter to principals of schools affiliated to the CBSE. The letter asked the heads of the schools to take appropriate measures so that children’s studies don’t get hampered. It had earlier this month put out a brochure informing about the immunity boosting measures for self-care during the coronavirus outbreak. The brochure contained Ayush ministry’s guidelines on preventive measures to boost immunity amid the Covid-19 crisis.
