Seven days of at-home exercise for seven days of lockdown
Posted on
Are you missing your standard workout? You’ll be happy to know HerCanberra has you covered.
Let’s take this lockdown day by day. This series has a simple format: Seven different exercises, one for each weekday.
The full workout program details and PDF will be available on the HerCanberra website, with a three-minute IGTV taste tester on HerCanberra’s Instagram.
Gyms are closed, and life as we know it has been put on hold. At Capital Hydrotherapy and Exercise Physiology, we wanted to give Canberrans something to keep them active, strong and motivated, while encouraging people to stay home and be safe.
The aim of the seven-day lockdown workouts is to get you started. Simple, easy-to-follow exercises. If you have a mat—great! If not, put the toys to the side, and find a space where you’re not stepping on LEGO.
Here’s how it’s going to work
- Friday 13 August: Hips
- Saturday/Sunday: Time to relax
- Monday 16 August: Core
- Tuesday 17 August: Posture
- Wednesday 18 August: Legs
- Thursday 19 August: Back
Ok. Here’s today’s workout!
Hip Workout
Two sets of 10 repetitions
- Lunges
- Side plank
- Squats
- Supine bicycle

Good luck! Welcome to repeat this on the weekend. We’ll publish the next program (core!) on Monday.
Stay strong. Stay at home.
Love, Rach and Kirra
