Hello,
We had our first Thursday evening session Nordic Walking on Worden Park and it felt like things are starting to be a little more normal!
Nordic Walking

You can book through Gymcatch onBook a class – Do Fitness with Diane Oakden. I will try to bring back other NW groups as soon as possible.
Borrowed Poles – please return
If I lent you poles during lock down please return them by putting them in my porch at 11, Cedarwood Drive, Leyland PR251HN as I will need them for training sessions. Thank you.
Wednesday 14 April – outdoor Zumba 9.30am Worden Park- no Pilates
We will try an outdoor Zumba class – meeting on the grass tennis court near the formal gardens (near the Arts and Crafts Centre). The weather forecast is good for Wednesday. If you plan to go for coffee afterwards park on Tesco’s car park as there is a 90 minute limit on the Worden Park car park. This will always be weather dependent and planned week by week.

You can book through Gymcatch onBook a class – Do Fitness with Diane Oakden. Note the earlier time for the moment. I will try to bring back other NW groups as soon as possible.

Week beginning 22 March
Hello, I am really loving how much more daylight we are having and how much the birds are singing first thing. I went for an early morning walk on Worden Park last week and just stopped and listened to the birds. The morning was misty and it was really atmospheric. It is really good to take those moments sometimes.(1) Facebook Yesterday was the Spring Equinox and officially the start of Spring How the Spring Equinox marks the changing seasons (telegraph.co.uk). Hurrah! Nordic Walking As we are permitted to have outdoor group exercise from 29 March I am looking to start our Saturday Nordic Walking group on Saturday 3 April. More information to follow. I need to check all the Covid guidelines and we will probably be starting on Paradise Lane as Worden Park has been incredibly busy but I will let you know. We have really missed our group walks and the social aspect of them. Zoom time changes Daytime classes are 30 minutes earlier and there is no Zumba on Monday mornings. See timetable below. This is to allow me to do my Census 21 work. Today is Census day. As you probably know this has been happening in England and Wales every 10 years since 1801 with the exception of 1941. (1) Facebook It is kept anonymous for 100 years and then de-anonymised and released much to the excitement of people interested in family history. It is used for planning of schools, medical services and transport. I will be out and about helping anybody who hasn’t been able to do it. If anybody knocks on your door saying they are from the Census they should have an id badge and be wearing a hi-viz vest.

Happy Mother’s Day and Zoom classes week beginning 15 March
Hello, Happy Mother’s Day – it is going to be a strange one this year for everyone. Whether we can’t see our Mums or our children can’t see us -hopefully we can make up for it later in the year! Last week I was contacted by 3 of our venues talking about starting our indoor classes again – more light at the end of the tunnel. We are looking at mid-May start following current government guidelines. Zoom time changes There were some time changes last week to our Zoom timetable – daytime classes 30 minutes earlier and there is no Zumba on Monday mornings. See timetable below. This is to allow me to do my Census 21 work. Look out for me in my hi-vis vest round the streets of Leyland. Census 2021 This week there is no Thursday evening Zumba The Do Fitness Private Facebook Group If you are Facebook user please join our private group so we can keep in touch with each other www.facebook.com/groups/1113432258991949 Please feel free to add photos from some of your socially distanced walks when you are out and about.
