Faced with a context of rapid spread of the new coronavirus, numerous municipal and state health departments have adopted precautionary measures to reduce contamination. Such measures resulted in the closing of public spaces and the typical environments for physical activity were limited as well. In addition, isolation resonated with the population, resulting in different feelings that caused fears and uncertainties, which, added to a frequent state of mourning, affected the mental health of the population. Thus, different intersectoral strategies and actions were used in this period, aiming to mitigate the harmful effects of isolation and overcome barriers to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the objective of this research is to report an experience of developing strategies and care actions carried out with users of a health promotion program with the help of body practices in Recife, Pernambuco.
