While the summer is fabulous for all its lovely summery filled summeriness, it can leave as out of our synch with our prompts and routines to move and stretch and strengthen our bodies. So here is something from me to you to help keep you in tune and connected with your body’s muscles and joints!
I’ve chosen ones you can do up on your feet which I hope you’ll find easier to fit into your day.
Rotate your upper and stretch out your sides:
Lengthen your spine and stretch your hips:
Circle your arms and body as you strengthen your legs
Carving out time to exercise, stretch out your joints and strengthen your muscles, as well as ensuring your cardiovascular fitness is being challenged, is vital for your present and future health and wellbeing, but it doesn’t always happen.
However, bite size mini moves through your day can be incredibly valuable for your body when your routine and rhythm is lost.
So don’t give up on your body this summer if you’ve found yourself thinking you will start again in the autumn!
Act now and make more of the body you’re in, more of the time.

Dear Eileen
Thank you for your feedback and I’m delighted the exercises were helpful for you.
What brilliant news to hear you have had your hip operation and you now feel more confident with what your body is able of achieving.
Glad you like my garden too!
