MARCH IN PLACE Marching is a great way to start slowly increasing your heart rate. Start by standing in place then lifting the legs up in a steady march, lifting each knee as high as you can without losing your balance. Make sure that you are also pumping your arms in time with your feet. For the best outcome, lift your legs 20 times. SIDE STEPS Start by standing in the middle of the room with plenty of space for you to step left and right. Take a side step in one direction, then two side steps in the opposite direction, then move back two steps. If you’re worried about keeping your

Charlotte Figi, has an amazing story. She struggled with Dravet syndrome as a little girl, a rare form of epilepsy that could cause up to 300 seizures per week. Her mother, Paige, searched high and low for something that could help her daughter, and along the way, she discovered CBD. In 2012, Paige thought that a high-CBD hemp source could be a game-changer for Charlotte, so she found the Stanleys — seven brothers who farmed hemp and offered Charlotte a rare high-CBD extract. It worked! Her symptoms were effectively relieved, and several years later, the company Charlotte’s Web was born. That one small girl inspired a movement around CBD that we’re proud to be part of.

Using your shoulder and back muscles, pull your arms toward you then back out in front, as though you were rowing a canoe. Repeat this exercise 8–10 times. DANCE Dancing is a great cardio exercise and plenty of fun too! Pick your favorite dance style and start moving those feet. Some styles, such as ballet or hip-hop, can be more challenging, especially if your mobility is limited. However, freestyle is plenty of fun too. No matter how you choose to dance and

A Note on Safety: Before you get started on any exercises, make sure that the space around you is safe. Give yourself plenty of room to move around so you don’t have to worry about bumping into furniture and accidentally hurting yourself. If you’re an older adult, be sure to have a stable surface nearby just in case. A chair, for example, can help you steady yourself if you begin to lose your balance.
