Today: Upper Arm Workout! nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/1...

Fairly easy, even for me! And it was really good timing as my legs are still recuperating from my 60min run yesterday. So having a workout for only my arms (except for warm up/cool down) was great! Thanks 🙏 NHS!

(Although my back ‘clicks’ at certain moments... mmmhh...)

But than sitting on my blanket after the workout I got close to nature and got fancy with my photo collage editing skills 😁 🖼 🎨 📷 🤳🏻 Happy, happy moments 😊.

I will have to try that one as my arms are comparatively weak.

Yeah, mine as well! I thinking’s the sign of our times. I used to do a bit of rowing in the gym which was great for arms, and also low impact. But a resistance band arm workout works as well.... like this one: nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/1...

Your journey sounds fantastic and such a lovely workout space!

I’m not sure if it was Juju or Rosabi but one of them recommended Emi Wong’s 20 min total body stretch. I really like it and her posture video too 15 mins. Link to stretch on here. I will be back to doing them with my daughter as of this evening. I know my flexibility got better from this, just be careful as I slipped too far for me in one of the positions and damaged something, will use a towel for support this time. I did in conjunction with NHS plan as an added bonus 😉

Thank you! The link did not work for me, so I’m wondering if it this video m.youtube.com/watch?v=OIww1... ?

I am resting a day, as my legs feel still under the weather and exhausted after a 60 min run 2 days ago..... so I tell myself as I sit here, looking at the downpour of rain and wind and sorting my future exercise plans.

So instead of exercising I am preparing my exercise links ready for when I finish my 12-week programme.

So great to have some more good low-impact workouts to be added to that, specifically the ones that can be done in the garden, without much equipment.

My equipment limit is a blanket and resistance bands. The rest of my equipment takes the form of tree branches, rocks, lawn, garden paths, big tree (for standing push-ups).

Thank you 🙏 💪

I added it again hope it works this time. She uses only a carpet square so a mat/blanket should be fine. She also has no jumping cardio too. Did you find the NHS videos? They have a lot of great and a few confusing workout videos too

Yeah, the NHS site is a treasure trove, but a bit difficult to navigate. All of those (incl belly dancing) is on my to-do list for the future! 😊😀

I made myself a beyond 12 week 12 week fitness plan with them included but didn’t start after injury, have only been running. But this week is the new beginning will probably start back on s&f then add my plan when I feel fully better. Good luck 🙃

Ohh, would love to see the „Beyond NHS 12“ plan, will you post it, once you’re there?

Good luck on your new beginnings!

Oh goodness I’m not sure it’s fit for public consumption. I will, though it’s only me trying to make a plan not a proper plan.

Great photo collage skills! Mixing it up is good for keeping the interest and giving body parts a much needed rest !!!
