She was on Sky News this morning:

news.sky.com/video/dee-dee-...

and this is the link to her website and 3 x 20min workouts she is using to raise funds for PPE for NHS staff

I'm not sure I would suggest anyone on here tried to do the entire routine straight off but they do come in 3 minute bursts so you could start small! I did do something similar the entire time I had PMR without pred - it is a question of building up very slowly and within your current ability.

Pans...both her and Babs powell had PMR and both danced together in late in the 60s into the 70s.

Inspirational - as you say perhaps need to pace ourselves but a little’s better than nothing. Thanks.

If I did only the first few steps I would fall over!!! Think I'm past all that. Will try and wobble about in the park at quiet times - that will do me fine.
