Breathe and flow

Try ten minutes of conscious breathing,  yoga or mobility work when you’re low on energy, it relaxes your mind and body  while still getting you moving

Dance like mad

Blast your favourite playlist and  dance around your room, it’s silly, fun,  and burns more calories than you think without feeling like a workout

Sit and tone

Seated workouts with resistance bands or light weights are perfect for days when standing feels like too much but you still want to move

Walk a little

A quick stroll around your home, garden or street clears your head and gets your steps in without needing any special effort or clothes

Try mini bursts

Use 1-minute energy spurts, like star jumps or high knees, to get your heart rate up without needing a full workout session or long plan
