Motivational tips to stay Active during Quarantine
To keep you and the family motivated and active during lockdown here are a few fundamentals.
- Have a weekday routine– set your alarm clock and rise and shine – a few get out of bed stretches to get you going
- Breakfast to give you energy for the day ahead

- Clean your teeth whilst balancing on one foot – 1 minute each side, – posture check stand tall eyes focus straight ahead, slightly pull your tummy muscles in( keep breathing) and shoulders back.
- Some people are morning exercisers , some are evening exercisers some don’t do any exercise, but whatever time you do or don’t do it, set aside 30 minutes of activity every day, it could be 1 minute of chair movement or a 30 minute online class
- Working at a desk try and sit for no more than 45-1hr – move away from your desk and do 1 minute of standing stuff, this could be looking out of the window or have a singalong to your favourite tune or doing some exercises.
