HomeServe has teamed up with Mr Motivator to create six home maintenance inspired yoga poses as research revealed that 34% of UK adults find home maintenance stressful during winter.
The research from HomeServe also found that losing hot water causes the most stress, with 66% admitting to be affected by it. This is followed by boilers not functioning properly, 65%, and frozen pipes, 65%, as temperatures plummet.
Mr. Motivator said: “When your home is acting up, it’s normal to feel stiff and stressed out—which can have a real physical impact on your wellbeing. That’s why, together with HomeServe, I want to give people easy ways to get moving and stretch out the stress while tackling practical tips to keep their home running smoothly.”
It also revealed that 28% of UK adults say they’re “too strapped for cash” after Christmas to tackle home issues, while 17% admitted they’re losing sleep worrying about the cost, urgency or complexity of winter fixes.
On the HomeServe website, Mr. Motivator has shared six yoga-inspired poses and practical tips.
