Movement for Mondays
The following exercises are to be completed as a circuit of 30sec working then 10-15 sec rest between exercises.
Once completed all 5 exercises, have a 45 sec rest. Complete 3-5 rounds in total. To set yourself a challenge, you can record the highest reps you achieved for the push up sets. For example, you achieved 10 your first set and 15 your second set, the number you would record is 15 and you would be trying to beat that score next week.
Here are the exercises.
Gratitude for Mondays
Please get yourself a journal and write down 3 things that you’re grateful for, and why they make you feel grateful today.
This will make you feel better about the things in your life that you have, rather than the things you don’t. Gratitude has lasting effects on the brain, but the benefits do take time, so please practise every week.
Here are some benefits of practising gratitude:
