Being active is important for our physical and mental health whatever our age or stage of life. The Virtual Village Hall is a great place to find some gentle, fun ways to exercise and dance at home. Here you’ll find a range of sessions designed to keep minds and bodies feeling healthy, fit and well. You don’t need any special equipment, just space to move and possibly something to hold on to, like a chair, if you are less mobile. Our tutors are all experienced instructors so you can rest assured you’ll be in safe hands.
Please take care to ensure that your health and safety are a priority when taking part in these sessions and note that you are undertaking all Exercise & Dance sessions at your own risk. When taking part in any of these activities, please ensure that you:
Risk assess your area: Make sure you have adequate space and clear any potential hazards e.g. i.e. chairs and tables.
Stay hydrated: Drink water before, during and after a session and take it steady in hot weather.
Know your limits: Only do what feels comfortable to your fitness level. Take breaks when needed.
Pre-existing health conditions: If you have a pre-existing health condition (for example: heart conditions, diabetes, back injuries, pregnant) please consider whether this programme is suitable for you. If in doubt, it may be best that you do not take part, or consult a doctor.
Age: Stick to the level of activity you can manage. Make sure that any children are supervised at all times by an adult.
Wear comfortable clothing and footwear: Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear for all exercise activities.
In case of an emergency: Keep your mobile phone nearby
