Stay Home, Stay Strong

It’s day four of Indiana Elder Abuse Awareness Week, and staying mentally and physically strong can help you avoid abuse and exploitation. But staying strong right now can be a challenge if you’re practicing social distancing. You might not feel comfortable heading back to the gym, and walks aren’t an option for everyone. So we want to provide you with some simple movements you can do in your home without fitness equipment.

We asked Austin Shoemaker, a personal trainer in Indianapolis, to provide us with an exercise demonstration. Each movement Austin demonstrates can be done in repetitions of 10-20 with up to 3 sets each, depending on your level of fitness and comfort.


Before watching the video, we want to remind you that safety comes first:

  • Know your limits and be careful not to over-exert yourself.

  • Use supports as necessary, such as chairs, railings, walls, or even a loved one.

  • Talk to your doctor before starting any new activity.

If you’re interested in getting in touch with Austin, he can be contacted by email at alshoemaker11@gmail.com.

A practical and empowering message about setting boundaries with calls. The advice felt grounded, much like digital https://qualityfenceandcustomoutdoors.com/ wellness tips I’ve seen.

This was a very practical and reassuring follow-up on blocking unwanted calls. The examples made the advice easy to apply in real life. I came across a similar discussion on https://www.poppyseeddreams.com/ that also highlighted how small digital habits can reduce stress.

Really appreciated this advice on https://www.docsoutsidethebox.us blocking calls your tone made it easy to follow and apply. I also saw a tech tips piece on a docsoutsidethebox blog that complemented this nicely.

This was a practical and https://griffindeck.com/ reassuring follow-up on managing unwanted calls. The explanations were easy to understand and actionable without feeling overwhelming. I recently read a related consumer-awareness discussion on griffindeck, and it paired well with the points you made here.
