SAFETY TIPS

MAKE SPACE
Have a clear space to exercise. Removing all obstacles (e.g. rugs, cords, furniture) so there’s no risk of tripping.

When doing standing exercises, stand with a bench, table, or sturdy chair in front of you or next to you, that you can hold onto if needed. Have a wall close behind you to steady yourself.

ENSURE YOU’RE SET UP PROPERLY
Exercise in a well-lit area that is not too hot or cold.
Wear comfortable clothing and well-fitting shoes or runners.

STAY HYDRATED
Grab your water bottle and have it with you while you’re doing exercise. Otherwise, make sure to Drink water before and after exercise. It’s super important, especially as we dehydrate much faster as we get older.

WATCH AND THEN TRY
Start any new exercise, slowly and carefully.
Watch the video before you try the exercise. Always start with the ‘easier’ version.

KEEP COMPANY
Consider whether you should exercise with someone rather than doing it alone.
Keep your phone in reach if you are exercising alone.

AND LASTLY, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY
Muscle soreness can occur, especially after new or harder exercises. Soreness should go away after a couple of days. Contact your GP if pain persists more than a few days.
