7-Day Turn Around: One Simple Step at a Time

Sometimes you just need a kick in the right direction. Whether you’re starting again or want to strengthen your body, this simple 7-day plan is the way forward—starting today!

Remember to stay aligned with your osteopath’s advice—don’t push into pain, and ask if you’re unsure.

Your 7-Day Plan

  • Day 1: Go for a 20-minute brisk walk—just enough that you can’t hold a conversation. Listen to music, walk with a buddy or your dog, and share a smile.
  • Day 2: Repeat Day 1 and add a healthy meal. Try poached eggs with spinach and avocado—yum!
  • Day 3: Repeat Day 2 and include light resistance moves like push-ups, triceps dips, planks, squats, and lunges.
  • Day 4: Repeat Day 2, then add a mood lift—send a funny meme or message to inspire someone else.
  • Day 5: Take a 30-minute walk and eat a colourful, protein-packed lunch—think meat and salad.
  • Day 6: Repeat Day 3 and enjoy healthy snacks—apples, nuts, carrot or celery sticks are great options.
  • Day 7: Combine all previous steps: walk, healthy breakfast, snacks, balanced lunch, hydrate, and finish with raw or steamed veggies. Keep repeating Day 7 for the next week—you’ll feel energised, positive, and motivated!
