The best exercise is the one you’ll keep doing. Make it easy, safe and part of daily life.
Simple kit
Resistance bands, a sturdy chair, a step, and a soft ball are enough for a full-body routine. Keep them visible to prompt action.
Tiny habits, big results
Anchor exercises to existing routines: heel raises while the kettle boils, sit-to-stands before TV, balance holds during tooth-brushing.
Progress without guesswork
Increase reps, resistance or time by 10–20% when a set feels comfortable. Log sessions to see your momentum.
Stay accountable
Share goals with family, join a community class, or book periodic reviews with your physiotherapist.
