Safety Tips
1) Find the right place:
- make sure you have enough room
- sit in a comfortable, sturdy chair
- no sitting on a walker or bed
- sit all the way back
- both feet flat on floor
If using a wheelchair:
- feet on foot-pedals or flat on floor
- brakes on
2) Remember to keep breathing:
In through your nose and out through your mouth
3) Adjust to your level:
If you find the exercises are too tiring, you can reduce the intensity by:
- only using arms (no legs)
- smaller movements, less reaching
- going slower
- only do a couple of songs
If it’s hard to lift your legs, then focus on your arms or vice versa. Any kind of movement is good!
To make it more challenging:
- bigger movements, reach further
- stand up if safe to do so
- remove any tripping hazards
4) Drink water:
Before, after and during exercise
5) Get help if you don't feel well:
Do not wait for it to pass, ask for help immediately. Do these exercises with a partner, or have someone nearby. If you are alone, keep a phone at close at reach to call for assistance.
