Where can I find the Strength & Flex plan please?

I do not want a podcast. I am deaf. Please do not just link to nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/s... because all that is is a bunch of podcasts. (Unless I've missed something on the page, but I did look carefully.)

Is there a pdf, or a list, or anything I can read please?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Do you know, is there a pdf, or a printout, or a list in writing that I can use please? If there isn't that's fine, I can do some other exercise plan instead. I'd like something I can print out and look at.
