Find out how this five-week plan will help you get up and moving and improve your health and wellbeing.
What is the plan?
The Strength and Flex plan is a five-week exercise programme delivered through five podcasts. As its name suggests, the plan is a fun way of improving your strength and flexibility and to get you motivated to exercise regularly.
What's in the podcasts?
Each podcast consists of an easy-to-follow workout, lasting between 35 and 45 minutes, narrated by Laura, who also lent her voice to the Couch to 5K and 5K+ running podcasts. There are video clips available of all the exercises in this series, so you can check you're doing each move safely and effectively.
Who is Strength and Flex for?
If you're not very active, don't enjoy exercise, need a bit of a push or you simply want a way to get fit again, then the Strength and Flex plan is for you! Strength and Flex is an easy way of getting fitter and more healthy. If you have any health concerns about exercising, see your GP before starting.
Why do Strength and Flex?
Probably the biggest challenge of getting active is not knowing how or where to start. Often when trying to get into exercise, we can overdo it, feel defeated and give up when we're just getting started. Strength and Flex works because it starts gently and builds up your fitness gradually, making the challenge feel achievable from day one.
