Session detailsThis week’s focus.
Take your time. Repeat this week whenever useful.
- Choose one question about your current routine: setup, resistance, an unfamiliar movement, or fitting it around a health condition.
- If you want advice on progressing, show a qualified exercise professional the complete routine you are following and describe what you have actually been doing.
- If you have fallen or feel unsteady, ask a healthcare professional about appropriate assessment and a suitable strength-and-balance pathway.
Before you move on.
What can you now describe clearly to a trainer or healthcare professional? Is there a question that needs individual advice?
