The session will begin with seated exercises to increase mobility in the upper body, leading to gentle exercises for the lower body. Your Locality Coach will show you other exercises to do in your own home to steadily improve your physical fitness over time.
Physical activity does not just involve going to the gym!
Your Locality Coach will explain the different activities you can do at home to achieve your weekly goal of 150 minutes of physical activity per week.
Your Locality Coach will help you set achievable goals for increasing your physical activity levels.
