Hello,
It was a tricky start to classes this year with the low temperatures and ice. Please, please don’t come to class if it is too icy underfoot and you are worried about falling. However, it was great to see everyone back in class and raring to go, though!
We can become more inactive over the Christmas period, and that can lead to a feeling of stiffness. This can be much worse if you have arthritis in any of your joints. So moving and exercising regularly becomes essential.
How to Relieve Body Stiffness & Probable Causes
Here is a good video from my favourite Physio Will Harlow for morning stretches The 7-Minute Morning Routine That ELIMINATES Stiffness (65+)
Happy 94th birthday to George
Happy birthday to George, who was 94 last week. I think George is my oldest class member. (Please correct me if you are older.) He attends with his lovely daughter Janine.
