Keeping fit and healthy
at home
It’s more important than ever to keep yourself healthy and active so we have put together some resources for you to try.
DSEngage
Online activities for people who have Down’s syndrome
DSEngage is our programme of regular activities for you to try out in the comfort of your home.
There are regular fitness and dance sessions throughout the week as well as special events for Christmas, World Down Syndrome Day and more!
Exercising at home
Our DSActive team have (with a bit of help from the fundraising team) put together some videos of exercises you can do at home with everyday objects, including a chair, cartons and some tins.
Remember to look after your mental well-being
Don’t forget to look after your mental health as well as your physical health.
Sleep is really important for mental health so try and maintain good sleep habits and try and get at least 8 hours a night.
Activities such as arts and crafts, drawing, reading, playing games, singing and dancing are all really good for lowering anxiety and reducing stress.
If you need any advice on mental health or any advice on staying health, please call our helpline on 0333 1212 300 between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday or email info@downs-syndrome.org.uk.
