it's really important as the nights are drawing in and lockdown 2 is in effect to #keepactive and think #moveitorloseit every day. little and often will help keep the body moving - but don't forget some #strength work too!

[Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) @thecsp]

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus how crucial keeping active is to halt deconditioning amongst older adults.

Help us share 6 simple exercises from physiotherapists to help build strength and balance for older people. https://t.co/mlSLVv3c4q #OlderPeoplesDay

Why not show an older person you’re thinking of them and send a #silversundayuk card this October? 🌈💚✏️

Children could make and send one to their grandparents, or you could pop a little note through an elderly neighbour’s door to let them know they’re not alone

@ColU_Events is the dirty dancing & Greece tribute still going ahead 21/08? I can’t get through to your events line and have purchased 8 tickets

Even if you are still working at this time, a reduction in your social circles can lead to feelings of loneliness. Get on the phone, and talk to friends.

If you are feeling lonely, have a look for groups near you who are offering support during the coronavirus pandemic: https://t.co/MpuxnAzhvQ #LonelinessAwarenessWeek #LetsTalkLoneliness
