Essex County Fire and Rescue Service’s (ECFRS) Fitness Team has put together a series of exercises to help people avoid injuries when working from home.
The team, who usually spend their days testing recruits and training firefighters, has seen an increase in colleagues and the public asking for advice while spending more time at home.
The whole routine consists of seven stretches and takes between 5 – 10 minutes to complete, with a recommendation of doing it a couple of times a day.
With a focus on the whole body, it starts with neck stretches it moves to arms, back and legs.
The team are no stranger to creating workouts and training plans to support others; last year they launched a firefighter fitness guide to help people reach the fitness level required to become a firefighter
Over the last few weeks the team has also been uploading daily workouts and advice on their Instagram account.
