Christmas holidays

Hi everyone,

Have you all got your strategies in place for avoiding the Christmas time excesses? One of my class members was going for a Christmas meal 4 days out of 7 last week. Her strategy was not to order pudding. You could be the driver so you can avoid the alcohol. Don’t over buy – you know that if the guests don’t eat the mince pies you will feel it’s your duty to eat up the left overs.

A quick summary of what is going on in the next few weeks:

Last week of classes
Classes finish on Friday 12th of December this week.

Start date 5th of January.
The timetable begins again on Monday 5th of January.

Thursday night classes night out- 11th December
We are replacing classes with getting together at the Railway Pub in Leyland at 7pm. We’ve not done that before so really looking forward to talking to everyone.

Christmas meal for daytime classes
We are at Wellington Park at 12 noon on Monday 15th of December. All welcome – just sign up in class and pay your £10 and you are booked in. So far there are 55 people coming!

Children in Need and Christmassy Things

Hi everyone
Thanks to everyone who is coming to class at the moment. You are all making for such a friendly, warm and welcoming  atmosphere which new people really appreciate and have commented on.

Children in Need I had an email from a class member who made the lovely suggestion that we collect for Children in Need next week. It feels really good when we do something like that. Last year for my 50th we held a charity event and raised over £700 for two amazing local charities.( It also made my 50th unforgettable!) For week beginning 17th November please wear anything spotty, yellow or  a bit silly or just put a bit of change in a collecting bucket.
Christmas Timetable. Our last normal timetabled class will be on Friday 12th of December and we will start the timetable again on Monday 5th of January. People get so busy around this time! I will arrange some classes between Christmas and New Year to keep you going and to help alleviate that Christmas feeling of having had a bit too much to eat and drink.  I will arrange a couple of walks too. Dates to follow. There will be a DO Fitness Christmas lunch on 15th of December at Wellington Park. More details to follow.

Fit with HIIT We will have a new FHIIT course starting in January by popular demand!

We are back!

Hi everyone,
We had a lovely holiday on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales. Beautiful place! It was great to see everyone last week. There is such a great atmosphere in classes where people have really got to know each other and are having a laugh together. This is so important- it’s not just about the exercise!
The class timetable is back to normal apart from the Bank  Monday on Monday 25th August when there are no classes
I saw a clip of a 99 year old lady running a 100 metre sprint. This lady started running when there was a family tragedy and exercise was her therapy. Exercise can make such a difference to quality of life – at any age!
