Amazing Jubilee Weekend and Friday evening summer walks starting.

Hello,
I hope you have enjoyed the last few days. Locally, we have been really lucky with Leyland Festival being back and Music in the Park which was terrific. (It was also my daughter’s 16th birthday too!) And the weather was stunning. Followed by the national event Platinum Party at the Palace with some amazing artists (4) Facebook and many street parties and other events. It has been a lovely few days.
It was great to see so many class members at Leyland Festival and Music in the Park.

Week beginning 23 May – next Nordic Walking Technique course and why dance is so good for us.

Hello,
It is National Walking Month – walking is one of the simplest ways to look after your health. Just 30 minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. It can also reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers.

Next Nordic Walking Technique course
To support National Walking Month I have arranged a Nordic Walking technique course for Saturday 28 May 2pm on Worden Park – Timetable and book a class – Do Fitness with Diane Oakden. Don’t forget we have a Wellbeing Nordic Walking group for you to start gently.

Why dance is so good for you
This is a fantastic report by Michael Mosley on why dance is so good for your mind and body. Keep dancing Zumba team!

Hello,

Our Starter Circuits is back! This class is great for people to work at their own level and build up their fitness with increasing challenges. After a warm-up you spend 1 minute on each exercise station. After that there are strength, balance and flexibility exercises together in the group. This format really works well for people and was really popluar before Covid.

Photographs
I will be taking more photographs in class for leaflets and my website and social media. I am afraid this is the way of the world nowadays.  Please do let me know if you don’t want your photograph taken. I completely understand.

Asthma and allergies and perfume in class
There are a couple of class members with asthma and/ or allergies and perfume can be a real trigger for them. Bearing this in mind please don’t wear perfume to class. Thank you so much.
