Let’s Get Moving this winter with the cuppa routine.
It’s cold, it’s miserable, but we don’t need to be. Let’s fight off the winter blues and increase our fitness, health and wellbeing in the comfort of our own kitchen!
What?
The challenge is to do four simple exercises in the time it takes you to boil the kettle.
Every time you make a hot drink follow this simple routine.
How?
10 heel raises
10 arm raises
10 sit to stands
10 side leg raises
All you need to do is watch the video or download the handout sheet and copy the exercises.
And don’t worry, if you can’t manage 10 repetitions straight away, do what you can, and as you get stronger you can increase your number.
Why?
If you do these exercises each time you make a cuppa, your strength, balance and mobility will increase.
Thank you
Thank you to Julie Robinson, a specialist exercise instructor for older adults, who kindly provided this routine.
