STRETCH. BALANCE & FLEX - Low Impact Gentle Workout

Each week we focus on specific balance activities to activate the core and improve our equilibrium such as `clock` work, `tight rope`, `flamingo stand` and `superman`.  

We strengthen muscle groups with different `flex` activities - you may want to use light hand weights for this. A chair is an essential tool...

Finally we devote time to stretching out those muscles to increase flexibility, improve circulation, eliminate tightness and (most importantly) for relaxation. 

The perfect FUN & EFFECTIVE way to start your Friday....

Join Rebecca virtually for 30 minutes of gentle low impact exercise that incorporates balance work, flexibility and strength.  There will be an opportunity to often use weights - but if you don`t have any, experiment by using cans from your cupboard! 

Great for all abilities!
