ExWell Medical is an established chronic illness rehabilitation programme that has recently launched its home-based programme.
Each week on RTÉ LifeStyle, the team are sharing a series of workouts that can be done at home - no gym equipment necessary.
Today, our video is from Dorothy who will be demonstrating chair dancercise. Ensure that a sturdy chair is used and be sure to take it at your own pace - do not push legs or arms beyond your own range of movement. This class provides a fun way to help mobility and cardiovascular fitness.
Dorothy was a participant on the ExWell programme when she finished her chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer. She found that the programme helped her transition to the activities of daily life and back to exercise.
The programme inspired her to pursue her studies as a personal trainer which along with her background in dance meant she could share the strength and energy dancing and fitness can bring to those with illness or restrictive condition.
Dorothy is a great example of the positivity exercise can bring and she is an inspiration to the team. www.exwell.ie
