Gentle and Beginners Workouts

[NevermindNelson]

Does anyone fancy a thread about nice gentle workout videos?

I’m hypermobile, so I’m often carrying an injury and finding ways to exercise around them. I’m mid-fifties, so I’m not really aiming for hour-long plyometrics workouts.

I found Jessica Smith years ago, her account is my safe place to go to.

I found this account GoSimpli when I sprained my ankle and wanted to do some seated workouts. She is a lovely Canadian who was diagnosed with osteoporosis, so her workouts are very safe.

This is a new one for me Improved Health, but her after dinner walks have already become a habit. Lots of strength and indoor walking workouts.

Well done - it looks like you have made an excellent start. Just keep on keeping on - consistency is key.

I also find it helpful if I do odd bits of exercise throughout the day. A few squats or stretches while waiting for the kettle to boil. A plank or some leg circles or bending to touch my toes - every little helps.

Well done - don’t dismiss the value of a short video.

I started a thread https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/exercise/5142082-she-believed-she-could-so-she-pressed-play because I thought all the video links were making this one a bit clunky.
