What time does the Monday walk begin?
KETTLE BOIL CHALLENGE
How far can you dry swim in the time it takes to boil the kettle?
Todays challenge is a dry breast stroke. This should give you an all round upper body work-out and start to raise your heart rate and body temperature. If standing engage your core and try to move only your upper body. To make it slightly easier, this can be done whilst sitting. Take it at your own pace.

POSE OF THE DAY
Todays pose is Uttanasana or standing forward fold.
This posture stretches the hamstrings, calves and hips whilst strengthening the thighs and structures of the knees. Forwards fold is said to help relive stress, mild anxiety and depression and reduce the effects of fatigue. Hold here for five slow breathes, feeling the stretch down the back of your legs. You will be able to see progress the more regularly you practice this one - it can be done every day.
