Does your boot camp instructor have a master’s degree in burpees?
No? We know one who does. Having a degree in burpees is something many fitness…
Have the past two years of uncertainty and restrictions affected your sleep?
For many people, exercise can be the best kind of medicine. It can not only work its magic for your physical and mental wellbeing but assists your sleep hygiene, too.
The Australian Physical Activity Guidelines recommends a minimum of 2 ½ to 5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity each week (and two strength sessions). The current guidelines are at the end of the column.
However, often, just getting started is the hardest part—so let’s start with five minutes.
Each week over the next four weeks we will give you a five minute workout to adhere to. Did you know one in two adults aren’t getting enough exercise?
As always, I’m going to make it easy for you. We have purposely only given you three exercises as it’s achievable, maintainable, time-efficient and realistic.
Here’s this week’s five min workout
1) Squat to stand to heel raise
2) Plank to push up
3) Bridge single leg
We have made your daily workout achievable. That’s the key. Let’s get on top of your sleep hygiene.
Do you have any workout requests? I’d love to hear from you (kirra@capitalhydrotherapy.com.au).
Ps: next week we are focusing on improving immune health through exercise…
Stay active, Canberra.
Love Rach and Kirra
