Yes! Feel welcomed to our Strength and Flex Forum! 👍🏽💪
Thank u! Im such a newbie ,hopefully this forum will giv me the confidence to change my broken body ,I never feel like im doing exercise properly but looking forward to learning for here
We do a daily yoga practice which is quite gentle and can be amended to be even more gentle (I do that) but there is also the NHS 5-week Strength and Flex program which is such a great way to get into strength and flex! I did and enjoyed it immensely. It’s a series of 5 podcasts and you do each podcasts 3 times a week. I did these as suggested outside, in my Garden, and that was really nice!
Oo thank u that sounds right up my alley I've started a strengthen body workout but found it to hard in parts , will definitely look for ^mayb that would give me a better start thanks!
Could u point me in the direction of the podcasts please
Have a look on this website nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/s... and it has a download link! Fab! Let us know how you get on!
There is also a way to combine C25k with Strength and Flex training in a 12 week program. As you are still in the early stages of C25k this might be also something to consider. Link here nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/1...
Have just downloaded the podcasts now! 
thank u!
Hi, if you want a short effective routine try the 5BX which is a program developed by the Canadian Air Force which many swear by. A shirt series of exercises designed to aid flexibility. Helen Mirren says she does it. YouTube has the old videos. I would suggest yoga as an alternative. Yoga by Adriene on YouTube offers a huge range of videos for different reasons flexibility is a key one where she has a lot of. They assume beginner so no pressure.
I've never heard of it but will look into it thank u for ur reply ,I luv helen mirren!
I also recommend yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. She has a yoga session for just about any situation you can imagine.
Thank u! alot of people have mentioned Adrian will giv her a try thanks x
Is it ok to run on rest days?
rest day but wanted to run.
Running without a rest day occasionally? 
Do rest days mean rest from running, or everything?!
Non-run-day exercise...
