I am a full-time carer and am limited in terms of how much exercise I can do away from home. Can you give me any advice on how to stay active when I am unable to travel to classes or get outside much?

Hi there, I think you would benefit from trying some of our exercise videos - simply clear some space in your living room or, if the weather's ok, you can do these in the garden too. I have put the link to these videos below so that you can get started.

You can also find a variety of exercise videos on YouTube by typing in 'yoga' or 'pilates', should you want to give either off these things a go. Again, these can be done in the comfort of your own home whenever you find a spare minute.

Remember, something as simple as walking to the shops instead of driving can also help you get in a little bit more movement as well.

Finally, I have a blog called 'easy stretches to do at your desk' which you could try whilst sitting down in the evening, or if you get a spare moment. This is a good way to keep the muscles and joints moving and to prevent them from becoming achy or stiff.

I hope you find these tips helpful and if you have any further questions do get in touch.
