Stay safe

  • Warm up before any fast movement and stop if anything hurts.
  • Watch your footing and keep a safe distance from others.
  • If you feel light-headed, breathe normally and sit down.
  • Anyone with a recent injury should take the easier option or sit this one out.

How to play

  2. Breathe in for 4 counts, out for 6.
  3. On each out-breath, count backwards from 20 in threes.
