Has anyone else heard this too? Does anyone know when it's starting and which channel?

Re: Exercises on TV for self-isolating

There's all the Joe Wickes exercises, although they are not particularly aimed at older people. He does do some kids ones though, which might be interesting for those who have their grandchildren around.

This might also be of interest on the NHS website about exercise.

https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercis...-older-adults/


Then there are many videos of gentle Yoga and Tai Chi to watch too.

Lastly, have a look on the AgeUk website for advice:

https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information...eing/exercise/

Plenty of advice on these sites to be going on with.

Good grief Foxy.
You ought to be our daily coach for gentle exercise on here then. You could make a video for us, like Joe Wicks.

Re: Exercises on TV for self-isolating

You all know I am a lover of all things athletically done outdoors, but I can see that this time, more than any calls for creativity - even in exercise .

While I am unfamiliar with programing over there, I am a fan of exercise and yoga videos that can be found on Youtube. The advantage of those is that they can be played and paused at one's convenience.

My mother is doing simple stretching and strength exercises that I found for her as she is a bit too wobbly to be out walking much without assistance.

I'm still out there as much as possible, not just for the joy of it but to escape that big handsome fellow who is constant with his seductive ways...

...the fridge .
