Strength exercises: exercise video
Exercises to strengthen your muscles.
Geoff, Yvonne and Mick do exercises to strengthen their muscles. Julie reminds them to use breathing techniques.
They repeat each exercise 10 times – that’s one set. Depending what level they are, they do 1, 2 or 3 sets. Some of the exercises use weights or resistance bands. This film lasts 33:20 minutes.
