Whilst the whole world is on lockdown due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we can and we must do our best at maintaining a routine. This is essential for our mental health, one way to achieve this is through exercise. Ideally first thing in the morning to help start your day and wake you up. So with a strong body comes a strong mind and vice versa.
The following workout doesn’t require any equipment.
Start with a 5 minute warm up – Jumping jacks for 30 second then running on the spot for 30 seconds each. Rest when needed.
Then complete:
10 x lunges
10 x Good mornings or straight legged deadlifts
10 x Squat’s
10 x Press ups
10 x Rear fly’s – without equipment just focus on the squeeze and contraction of the muscle. That goes for all exercises. Prioritise control and depth then power.
10 x burpees
10 x Hip Thrusts/Extensions (Bridges)
10 x Jump Squats
Repeat as many times as you can, rest when needed. Finish with a nice walk in the fresh air.
Aim to do this 3 x a week. I will add a new work out weekly.
Please remember social distancing and stay safe. Enjoy!
We have worked with Safewell for many years and are retained clients, so we have developed an excellent working relationship with the team. However, this really came into its own when Covid 19 appeared.
As a Plumbing and Heating business, we were able to carry on working during the lockdown but only for responding to emergencies. We were obviously very concerned about the health and safety of our employees and before we even had chance to get in touch with Safewell, they had emailed us offering their assistance. It is hard to put down on paper how that made us feel - we like everyone else felt totally at sea, which way to turn, what to do? But Safewell were there guiding, supporting and being totally brilliant. Their attention to detail is very impressive and reassuring and we feel able to ask lots of questions without feeling silly.
During the pandemic Safewell helped us to write risk assessments, safety procedures and protocols. They kept in touch regularly, issuing new guidance as soon as it appeared and checking in with us. They held group Q&A sessions over Zoom which were helpful, and knowing other businesses were facing the same challenges and having the opportunity to discuss issues was invaluable. Their help during the preparation for a full return to work was brilliant, they enabled us to be fully prepared and feel in control, and when we had our first case of Covid within the team, because we had planned our response it felt ok.
I think our team felt very reassured by our robust approach and that our office was Covid secure. We are extremely grateful to all the team at Safewell
