Stay active indoors this winter
Exercise is important all year round but perhaps most importantly during the colder months when the tempreature drops or it's unsafe to be outside.
This NHS 10 minute workout guide shows you basic home exercises for people who want to stay active indoors.
Strength, balance, flexibility and sitting exercises are ideal if you want to improve your health, lift your mood and remain independent. Take a look at the NHS 'Easy low impact exercise' section to get started.
