Do Fitness with Diane Oakden

Hello,
Well, Storm Amy messed up any plans for this weekend. The Moonlight Walk to raise 
money for North West Air Ambulance had to be cancelled and will be rescheduled. Thank you to all those who donated, we raised over £200.

I am hearing very encouraging stories from people about how coming to classes is really helping them both physically and mentally. Thank you for telling me, it really motivates me. Sometimes it takes some encouragement to join a class or to start exercising. Once people start to see improvements or benefits, they become more motivated too.

Hello,
Welcome to our classes, if you have recently joined. As you will have found, we are a friendly bunch.

A couple of us from Do Fitness classes are doing the Moonlight Mission Walk to raise funds for the North West Air Ambulance Service. I didn’t realise it, but there is no government funding for this service, and it relies solely on donations and fundraising. They came to my neighbour when he fell from a ladder. An amazing relief for him and his family to have received medical care so quickly. If you would like to donate

Hello,
I really love hearing a buzz of conversation before a class starts. The social benefits of group exercise are enormous. Researchers say that social connections help people live longer with a lower risk of illnesses such as heart disease, stroke and dementia. Keep chatting everyone!

Hello,
Well, it is officially autumn and we can feel things changing around us. The air is fresher and leaves are changing colour. It might make us think of making a few changes to our exercise routine. It is worth thinking about and making some plans to incorporate in your routine.

It is also time to start taking D3 as we are no longer getting enough sunlight to produce it ourselves – unless you have booked a Caribbean cruise! Take D3 with K2 combinations for the best results.

Christmas lunch dates
Yes, I know it is only the beginning of September, but I have booked our Christmas lunch dates.

Hello,

Modern life really does involve a lot of sitting – in a car, at your laptop, while on your phone or watching TV. This has a massive impact on your body. One of my relatives has changed her role at work recently. Before, she walked 5 or 6 miles during her shift, now she is desk-based, and she has really started to feel uncomfortable with back and neck ache, clothes are tighter fitting, and she feels more fatigued. What Sitting All Day Is Silently Doing To Your Body . If you find yourself sitting a lot, whether it is because of work or habits you could try  ‘exercise snacking’ – no biscuits involved.
Boost HEALTH In Minutes With Movement! “EXERCISE SNACKS”!
Make sure you get up at least once an hour, stretch, do heel raises, sit to stands x 10, or just something to get your heart rate up, and even make yourself slightly out of breath. You will really feel the benefits. What are Exercise Snacks and Why are they Important? | Movement & Exercise
