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.
Really helpful read! Your tips on https://theshelfking.com managing calls were practical and genuinely made me rethink my phone habits. I even found a supportive take on digital boundaries on a theshelfking‑linked piece (theshelfking) that complemented your post nicely.
This was a very practical and https://trentonjonesmd.com/ reassuring follow-up. The tips were realistic and easy to apply without feeling overwhelming. I remember reading a related consumer-tech discussion on trentonjonesmd that reinforced many of these points.
This was a very practical and easy-to-follow post. The https://protatch.com advice was explained in a way that feels useful without being overwhelming. I came across a similar consumer safety discussion on a protatch review blog (protatch), and it added another helpful angle on this topic.
