It has been a beautiful sunny weekend after some dark rainy days which has made me think about how we often feel in the winter months. In this part of the world we don’t get enough sunshine in winter so many people benefit from taking vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is produced in our skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D3 helps fight disease, reduces depression and helps maintain bone health. So if you tend to feel quite low in winter vitamin D3 is something to really consider.

Welcome to our new class members who have joined us recently. My goal is to have something for everyone so there are chair based options (Chairfit and Seated Pilates) if standing for a whole class is out of the question or the Wellbeing Nordic Walking group for a gentler paced walk. Exercise is not only good physically, as we all know, but helps us mentally in so many ways (and there is the social element of group exercise which is vitally important too.) Brain health is boosted by regular exercise. Wendy Suzuki: The brain-changing benefits of exercise | TED Talk

Hello, We have our full timetable back this coming week with all our usual sessions on. I am away next Sunday on Pilates training in Manchester for more ideas for class. It feels like we are getting back to how things used to be with face to face teacher training.

Just a quick message – there will be a reduced timetable in half-term week- week beginning 25 October – next week. There will be no evening classes and no Nordic Walking during the week. If you have already booked something you will get a credit. I am trying to recover from Piriformis Syndrome so I am giving my body a little rest.
Hello, It is always good to take on new challenges and continue learning. I was on a basic woodworking course yesterday and it was really good to not be the ‘teacher’. It is useful to experience the other side and what makes you feel comfortable and what doesn’t and what gives you a sense of acheivement- and yes I made planter.
Next Nordic Walking Technique Course – 30 October 1pm Worden Park Come and learn about this lovely outdoor exercise which is very sociable too. Poles are loaned to you for the technique course.
Chorley Zumba Gold Tuesdays 1.30pm – Primrose Gardens, Fleet Street It was great to be back with my Chorley Zumba Gold group but in a beautiful venue with a sprung floor specially made for a dance class. There is parking on Fleet Street or at Asda. Entrance on Fleet Street.
Nordic Walking and nature spotting When we are on our walks we often notice plants, flowers and trees and try to identify them. At this time of year it is all about fungi. Here is a guide to the most common types: Types Of UK Mushrooms: Identification Guide – Woodland Trust

Hello, I hope you are doing well. It was lovely to see new people joining us again last week and people going for coffee after class. I had my annual appointment with my MS Consultant and again he said ‘keep doing what you are doing because it is working.’ I feel blessed as there were times I was using a walking stick and looking at wheelchairs I as so ill with MS.
No classes on Saturday 16 October No Pilates or Nordic Walking – I am away in Lancaster on a course.
