Tips on staying farm fit from Farmstrong

The nature of farming has changed with the use of machinery and technology leading to less physical activity.

Injecting physical movement into your working day helps to prevent health issues and ensures match fitness for important annual events like calving, which still require physical and cardio endurance.

Physiotherapist Karen George has developed a 10-minute routine designed specifically for farmers called the ‘Turn on Your Core’ 4-Week Challenge. It will strengthen your core, warm you up for the day and help protect you from back strains and other niggles. It requires no equipment and can be done anywhere.
