People in Camden have been getting more active recently and feeling better because of it.
Residents in one of our supported living houses have been following an online fitness programme by Brand Inc Fitness, with accessible chair exercises, stretching and mobility.
LDN London recently signed up to the programme, giving staff and people we support free access to the online workout videos.
“It is good fun and jolly”, one of the women says.
“It’s fun to be with other people doing it,” another added.
It took time for the women to get used to the exercises, Ajoke, who is one of the support team, says. At first some people were not that interested or preferred to watch.
As staff supported them, they began to enjoy them more, and to join. Ajoke says that it’s now a routine for the house and lifts everyone’s spirits.
Since they began the programme the women have been more active and have been socialising together more.
The team have some tips for others who would like to do a bit more exercise.
