Should I be shielding?
It has been a difficult year for everyone and some of us have been restricting our activity levels. It is now recommended that we try to increase our levels of physical activity both indoors and outdoors. Try to include a variety of activities to boost your stamina, strength and balance as well as your overall mood.
The only people who should be shielding are those who have been categorised as extremely clinically vulnerable (Click here for further government information)


What type of activity should I do?
Choose something every day that you enjoy!! Go for it....
-
Dance in your kitchen to the radio (Kitchen Disco!!)
-
Laps of your garden (Captain Tom style!)
-
Punch a pretend punching bag (forwards and sideways)
-
Weight lift using a tin of beans (elbow curls, bent arm lifts)
-
20 minutes of gardening, raking or housework
-
Walk to the local shop or even ‘to the corner and back’
-
Drive to the supermarket and park your car in the furthest parking spot to increase the walking distance
-
Why not try a kettle boiling exercise?? Balance on 1 leg or stand with your feet together while the kettle boils…..
REMEMBER: Always finish with a few simple stretches and a drink!
