Keeping fit and active is important for our physical as well as mental wellbeing. Working from home, being isolated or just being able to get to the gym due to recent closures can all call for some new strategies.
Exercise programs often require minimal or no equipment if they are well designed.
Ensure you build new exercises or movements gradually and listed to your body. Speak with our Physios or Exercise Physiologist to help find the right exercises for you if some of these standard exercises don't feel right, aren't controlled or cause any pain....note the hand stand image below is going to fall into the "not suitable" category for most people! Don't be disheartened, most of the exercises in this sequence are moderate if not loaded highly or pushed too hard.
