Be Active At Home

Disclaimer

• If you are unsure about starting an exercise program due to a health issue/being deconditioned, please chat to your GP or a health professional before embarking on any activity. 
• Before you start, make sure you are wearing loose comfortable clothing that you can move easily in and comfortable non-slip footwear. 
• Remove any slip or trip hazards around the area you are going to be active in. 
• If you are unsteady on your feet, you can do the activity sitting down in an upright chair (dining type), and sit in a tall upright position. The chair should be placed against something sturdy to stop it from moving about. 
• If you feel any discomfort, then stop what you are doing and take a break. 
• The activity will increase your breathing slightly, but if you feel very out of breath then slow down or stop/take a break. 
• Listen to your body and only do what it can manage. 
• Make sure you have water to hand to keep hydrated.
