Locked-down Brits plan to learn a language, master DIY or write a novel during isolation

A third of adults plan to work out at home every single day, while one quarter intend to learn a new language

A poll of 2,000 adults found six in 10 are planning -or have already started- to improve themselves while house-bound.

Among the intentions are taking an online university course, mastering painting, and learning new CAD or online design packages.

Other things on the to-do list include yoga, tidying the garden, researching the family tree, studying history – or teaching themselves a skill such as knitting.
