Hello,
I hope you are coping ok with the heat. Things should cool down next week, making classes more comfortable. Remember to keep hydrated before, after and during class.
How to keep cool in hot weather | Age UK
One of my lovely class members has unfortunately broken her foot, and in order to get upstairs, she had to shuffle on her bottom and use the strength in her arms to lift herself up each step. Her daughter was impressed by how strong she was. She has kept strong by consistently coming to class and doing strength work. You never know when your hard work will pay off! Wishing her a speedy recovery.
No classes at Euxton Community Centre on July 22
The GP practices and Falls Prevention team in the area have been referring people into a programme called Strong and Steady, which helps people with their strength, flexibility, balance and reaction times. This can greatly reduce the risk of falling as we get older. As the course only lasts 6 weeks I have been asked to go along to talk to the group at their last session to encourage them to continue exercising by coming to our Do Fitness classes. (Sorry, it is at the same time as our Euxton classes.)
