Week 1 Lockdown Stay Healthy Series 

Stay Flexible 

Stay Strong 

Stay Well 

Stay Flexible - The hip flexor stretch!
✅ Sitting for much of the day is something many of us are guilty of.
✅ The hip flexor stretch helps reduce the risk of lower back and hip pain.
✅ Start in a half kneeling pose, keeping a straight back, rotate the pelvis backwards and hold for 30 seconds.
✅ Stretch each side twice. Give it a go and show us how it’s done!






Stay Strong - The Squat 🤔
✅Squats not only build muscle strength, but also improve bone strength and reduces the risk of falls in later life.
✅Squats are safe for people of all ages and can be done supported, with body weight, or with weights to make it appropriate for your ability.







Stay Well – Diaphragmatic breathing!
⭐️Diaphragmatic breathing helps reduce stress by activating your Parasympathetic Nervous System - Your Rest and Digest Mode!
⭐️Find somewhere quiet and lie on your back. Place one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach.
⭐️Relax and breathe in through your nose, keeping the chest still and feel the abdomen rise.
⭐️Pause and slowly breathe out, feeling your abdomen fall.
⭐️Find a relaxed and a regular rhythm.
✅Practise for 5 to 10 minutes twice per day.


Stay healthy and stay safe.🙌🏾❤️
