This short workout with Louise is suitable for anyone wishing to strengthen their posture and upper & lower limbs. Louise takes you through a series of fun and challenging exercises to improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.
As this workout focuses on strengthening posture and balance and falls prevention, it is suitable for those with osteoporosis. Please ensure you are safe when trying this workout - if you are unsure about challenging your balance, please complete the exercises close to a wall where you can easily reach out a hand to steady yourself.
