Make those annoying TV Ads feel more productive

Whenever the adverts come on use that time to build some strength and boost your mood.

💙When the adverts begin, stand up from a seated position before slowly returning to your seat
🩵Maintain an upright posture and push through the heels as you stand
💙When returning to your seat push the hips back, bend at the knee and slowly lower yourself down
🩵Always look forward keeping the neck in line with the spine

See how many times you can repeat this movement before the adverts come to an end.

Safety Advice – Before talking part in any exercise, choose a space that is free from clutter and always listen to your own body, don't over do it. If you experience any pain or discomfort, or unusual symptoms it is important to stop and assess the situation. (seek medical advice if necessary)
