Here’s another free (and effective) workout from a Exercise Physiologist

Where’s your happy place to exercise? Welcome to the third week of the Spring Workouts.
How did you go last week? Did you find time to move?
This week, at HerCanberra, we want to encourage you to find time to move in a way that makes you happy. For all of September, we will release weekly spring workouts, which you can do at home (or work). It takes 21 days to form a habit, and 90 days to change your lifestyle.
Where is your happy place to move? In the comfort of your own home? Outside in the sun with your furry friend? In a group energy setting? In the bush (because who doesn’t love quiet time)? Or in the gym?
For some, being active is one of the best ways to take care of your mind and mood—finding your happy place. Did you know research has found that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can improve your mood immediately? and (wait for it…) …. those improvements can last up to 12 hours.
Being physically active helps improve cognitive function, and boosts memory. Physiologically, we’re designed to move and five minutes is better than nothing. Pop your favourite music on, set up your mat and your dumbbells (or any equipment that you can find).
Here’s your week three spring resistance workout session (you can print the PDF here):
- Calf Raise
- Side Plank
- Hip abduction – side lying
- Crook abdominal crunch
If you can’t do these exercises, you’re welcome to write to me, and I can modify the movements for you: kirra@capitalhydrotherapy.com.au
Exercise can be free and fun – you just need to decide when to do it!
Love, Kirra
