We Are Undefeatables is back! The Sport England campaign that focuses on getting those with long-term health conditions moving has made a return through a new advertisement on Sky TV.
This time they are re-branding and launching the successful 5 in 5 programme. A series of activities that can be completed for a minute at a time — added together in any way that the user chooses to make up a series of 5 exercises.
A simple but effective way to ease movement and gentle activity into your day without it taking too long or causing too much stress on the body. Many of the activities can be completed sitting down and have key themes. No expensive equipment is required and all the exercises can easily be integrated into the day without taking up too much time.
The resource pack includes seven themed cards, each displaying five exercises. The categories are:
Warming up
Stress-busting
Mood boosting
Exercise with accessories
While watching TV
While outdoors
In the kitchen
There's then a handy sheet where you can build your own exercise plan by writing or drawing the movements into the boxes to complete your own mini-workout plan.
The programme allows individuals to work at their own pace and progress as they feel able to. Those who wish to spend more time exercising can simply choose more exercises or complete each one for longer. It's flexible and fits easily around your long-term health condition.
Remember to seek advice if you are just getting started or returning to exercise after a long break.
