This week could everyone coming to Pilates bring a mat if you have one or a towel to put on the top of mine. The format will change in classes such as Circuits so we don’t share any equipment.
More updates to follow.
Please wash you hands before signing in to class and after class
Thank you

News Up-date
Hello everyone
I am sorry to start this email with really sad news. A much loved class member has died. People who come to circuits on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will know our Eric Nixon. He passed away yesterday morning after a short illness. He came to his last Circuits class in the middle of February with his usual humour. He was one of my rocks and supported me when I was really ill with MS and when my son died. There will be a card to sign all week for anybody who knew him which I will give to is lovely wife Zoe.
Class holidays
There will be no classes 23 – 27 March Monday to Friday (apart from Tuesday Zumba Gold Chorley run by Ann Smith).
I will be away in Somerset on an Overcoming MS Retreat learning strategies to slow progression of MS.
Corona Virus (COVID-19)
I know everyone is well informed about this. The policy for our classes is to wash hands thoroughly ( sing Happy Birthday twice) before class and after class. I will keep you posted about any changes to the timetable if that becomes necessary.

Happy New Year!
Hello everyone
Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2020! Well I have missed you over the last couple of weeks but it has given me time to catch up with myself and to spend time with family. When I have time off it makes me realise how amazingly beneficial regular exercise is both for mind and body so looking forward to starting classes again. Classes start again on Monday 6 January ( or Saturday 4 January for Nordic Walkers). All the classes are listed below or on my web-site www.dofitness.org under ‘Upcoming events’.
Realistic Resolutions
This time of year people many people make New Year’s ResolutionsThe key to success is set realistic and doable goals so you have a sense of achievement. Also if it is something you understand fully the benefits of it is easier to adhere to. For example, it might be you want to get more sleep by going to bed sooner, if you understand that it will help you maintain a healthy weight or boosts your immune system you are less tempted to stay up watching TV programme. Set a specific goal that you will be in bed for a certain time. With exercise it is much more doable if you really enjoy what you are doing and it has added benefits such as socialising at the same time.
