Exercise at home

Tips before you participate in an online class

A few tips to make sure you stay safe while exercising:

• Wear shoes that are suitable for exercising, such as sneakers or a firm fitting flat-soled shoe.
• Have a phone in close reach.
• Use something stable, such as a kitchen bench or sturdy chair for support.
• Have water nearby so you can stay hydrated while doing the exercises.
• If any of the exercises cause pain in your joints or muscles, stop immediately. Check you're doing the exercise correctly and try again. If pain persists, leave that exercise out until you've sought advice.
• If you experience chest pain, severe shortness of breath or severe dizziness, stop immediately and contact your healthcare provider.
• Feeling slight muscle soreness the next day is normal and shows you've exercised your muscles.
