Fitness
A home workout in a small space
Home activity can begin without expensive equipment. A safe space and exercises suitable for you matter most.
Put it into practice
Clear the floor, use a stable chair and try controlled sitting and standing, wall push-ups or walking on the spot. These are ideas, not a compulsory sequence.
Things to keep in mind
Avoid unstable furniture and slippery floors. If a movement hurts, do not insist on finishing it; make it easier or seek a suitable alternative.
Your next step
- Clear some space
- Check stability
- Choose an easy version
