Summer Break

There will be no Do Fitness classes from Monday 31 July until classes start again Monday 14 August.

Week beginning 24 July, sleep and summer holiday dates.

Hello,
We just have one more week of classes before our summer holiday break. I am not too optimistic about getting a suntan though when we go to Northumberland.
Raincoats will be packed!

Are you getting enough sleep?
I have been listening to a fascinating book called Why We Sleep – I listen at bedtime when I am going to sleep. It talks about the health benefits to the body and the brain from getting the right amount of sleep and how sleep deprivation can harm. Here is a summary:
Why We Sleep Book Summary by Matthew Walker (shortform.com)
Also, Dr Michael Mosley has been at it again and has some useful podcasts but don’t listen when you are driving – they are bit too relaxing! Just One Thing – with Michael Mosley – Sleep Well – with Michael Mosley – Sleep Well – Ep 5: Listen to your body – BBC Sounds and Just One Thing – with Michael Mosley – Sleep Well – with Michael Mosley – Sleep Well – Ep 4: Warm up to cool down – BBC Sounds

Week beginning 17 July and summer holiday dates

Hello,
Gosh – my Nordic Walkers got caught in the downpour yesterday! The walk started in lovely warm sunshine walking through lush green fields. Suddenly there was torrential rain. Once home and showered though we felt great! Here are the benefits of walking in the rain
8 Healthy Reasons To Walk In The Rain | Footfiles

Dr Michael Mosley’s Radio 4 series this past week was excellent and worth a listen – all episodes are up now for you to listen to. Episode 1 Stay Fit and episode 5 Stay Strong of the Stay Young special are particularly worth a listen!

Week beginning 10 July and stay young

Hello,
You probably know by now I like listening to Dr Michael Mosley on Radio 4 especially his series Just One Thing
which gives great health tips and ideas to look after ourselves. You can listen to any of the broadcasts here:
BBC Radio 4 – Just One Thing – with Michael Mosley .
There was a special recently which focused on food and was particularly interesting talking about how important the gut biome is and how damaging ultrprocessed food is to our health – definitely worth a listen: BBC Radio 4 – Just One Thing – with Michael Mosley, Food Special with Tim Spector
There is another theme coming up soon in Just One Thing called Stay Young I will keep you posted about that.

Summer holiday dates
There will be no Do Fitness classes from Monday 31 July until classes start again Monday 14 August.

Friday evening (Nordic) Walks have finished.
Anybody is welcome to join our other walks with or without poles

Pilates on Zoom Tuesdays 7pm (apart from first Tuesday of the month)
Trying to fit exercise into our day can be challenging especially if you are working full time. I know for some people a Zoom Pilates class might be a lot more convenient. Every Tuesday except first Tuesday of the Month. Classes can be booked on Gymcatch.

Happy new month! As a family we are starting to look forward to our summer holiday in Northumberland. We haven’t been to the area before so looking forward to seeing new places. There will be no Do Fitness classes from Monday 31 July until classes start again Monday 14 August.

How to build up exercise for your bone strength

Exercise and heat

Starter Circuits Fridays 1.15pm and Nordic Walking Wellbeing Thursdays 3.30pm stopping for summer
We will look at starting these again at the end of the summer. Lots of other options on the timetable for the time being for you to choose from.
