You can still exercise in lock down!

Remember we need to:

  • Get up and move around every 45-60 minutes.
  • Complete 150 minutes of moderate activity per wk (walking) OR 75 minutes of vigorous activity (jogging).
  • Eat healthy food and drink plenty of water.

Motion is Lotion! Below are some simple exercises you can do at home

Squat

  • Perform with body weight or add weights.
  • Perform standing or lower to a chair.
  • Complete 15-20 reps, 5 times.

Superman

  • Lying face down, turn on your core, then raise your head, chest, arms, and legs.
  • Complete 5 holds for 20-30 seconds.

Thoracic Stretch

  • Bow and arrow stretch.
  • Start on your side and rotate the upper body as far as you can.
