How you can keep fit and isolate at same time

-

„ Sit on the edge of a chair or sofa holding on to the front with your hands. Place your feet out in front of you (bent legs for easier option or straight legs to make it harder) and lower your elbows to a 90-degree angle before pushing back up.

„

Incline press-ups can be done anywhere around the home – on a table, a bed, a chair or even a wall. To use a table, place your hands on the table with your legs stretched out behind you, body nice and straight. Lower your weight down keeping your elbows tight to your body, and press back up.

„

Find a wall with a big enough space for you to lean on. Sit against the wall like you would in a chair with your legs at 90 degrees, and hold. Give it time and you’ll soon feel the burn!

„

Sit on the floor holding a milk bottle (or any bottle with liquid in). Lean back with a straight back. Rotate your torso and try to touch the floor each side with the milk bottle. Make it harder by lifting your feet off the floor.

„ This stretch is good for improving neck mobility and flexibilit­y. Sit upright with shoulders down. Look straight ahead. Slowly turn your head towards your left shoulder as far as is comfortabl­e. Hold for five seconds and return to starting position. Repeat going right. Do three rotations on each side.

„ upright with your feet hip-width apart and arms by your sides. Slide your left arm down your side as far as is comfortabl­e. As you lower your arm, you should feel a stretch on the opposite hip. Repeat with your right arm down your right side. Hold each stretch for two seconds. Perform three on each side.
