Hello,
Another beautiful weekend – I hope you all got out in the sunshine. It really does make all the difference and lifts our spirits! Today I just wanted to talk about warming up and how important it is. Whatever exercise you take part in make sure you have had a warm up to prevent injury.
Why warming up is so important
We always start a class with a warm up and these are the reasons why:
It gets your heart rate up Getting your heart rate up gradually is important. Doing it slowly instead of all at once allows your body to adjust to the increased workload progressively.
It helps to lubricate your joints The more you move your joints, the more lubricated they get. Most joints are synovial joints. Bones that end in a synovial joint have a layer of cartilage at the end of them. In the joint between the layers of cartilage is synovial fluid. It’s this synovial fluid that becomes less viscous and allows joints to move more easily when you do a warm up.
It warms up your muscles Your muscles are able to perform better when they’re warm. Including a warm up in your workout ensures that they’re warm before you start asking them to do harder things. In addition, getting more blood to your muscles means that they also have more access to oxygen. Oxygen is the fuel that gets them working.
It’s mental preparation In addition to getting ready physically, warm ups help you to prepare mentally as well. Getting in the ‘zone’ and allows you to put in 100% effort.
No classes on Tuesday 29 March and Wednesday 30 March
I will be away for a family funeral sorry no classes those dates.

Hello, I have been thinking about balance and how it is so important. It is something we practice in every class. Balance practice is not just for when we get older it is a skill we need to work on throughout our life so our balance is good when we get older. A fall in later life can be catastophic if we break a hip for example. You can practice and improve your balance any time- stand on one leg when you boil the kettle or when you are cleaning your teeth. Standing on one leg also improves bone density.

Hello,
There has been a lot in the news about knowing the symptoms of a heart attack Call 999 with early heart attack symptoms, NHS says – BBC News. This is a useful article to read to educate ourselves so we are a little bit more aware, for example you might not know sweating is a symptom. By coming to classes and being regularly active you are looking after your heart health. 7 Heart Benefits of Exercise | Johns Hopkins Medicine

The folly arch Worden Park – more information – Worden Park Icehouse and Folly Arch, Leyland – Lancashire Past – we pass it on our Nordic Walks
Week beginning 7 February – timetable changes.
Hello, The week ahead has a few changes to our timetable – please check if it affects you by looking at the timetable below and checking venues when you book on Gymcatch. I have been thinking about self-care and how we can often neglect it because of other pressures on our time. Self-care is so very important because we always need something in reserve for what life throws at us. Keeping strong and fit through exercise whether it is a daily walk or Zumba or Pilates is one way to charge up your batteries and build our resilience. Change of Monday morning venue from 7 February due to roof repairs at Leyland Methodist Church Hall From 7 February our Monday classes are moving to Prospect House 45 Sandy Lane Leyland Tuesday evenings have finished for now- Zumba and Pilates moving to Thursday night at Prospect House, Sandy Lane. I am really sorry to say that due to the repairs to the leaky roof at Leyland Methodist Tuesday night classe have finished. From 10 February Zumba will move to Thursday nights at 6.30pm at Prospect House. There is already a Pilates class at 7.30pm for people to join. I have found it impossible to find another Tuesday night venue. Nordic Walking Changes – Monday nights moving to Leyland and Thursday night finishing. Monday nights walk is moving to Leyland on Monday 7 February and the last Thursday night walk will be Thursday 3 February.
