Hello,
There will be no classes on Monday 19 September as it HM Queen Elizabeth’s funeral
Welcome to you if you have joined one of our Do Fitness classes recently. I send our newsletter out every Sunday morning so you know what is coming up in the next week and of course the timetable is on Gymcatch via Timetable and book a class – Do Fitness with Diane Oakden . I also try to include health and fitness tips for any issues that have an impact on my class members.
Exercise and Arthritis – there is always something you can do.
As I am writing this email I can hear the sound of my husband on his rowing machine downstairs. Over the last couple of years he has developed severe osteoarthritis in his hip so much so that he has to use crutches to walk. He used to go running but when that became impossible he starting cycling and using the rowing machine (non-weight bearing exercise). Other things that can be done are water-walking or swimming, Nordic Walking where the poles take pressure off the joint or chairbased exercise. This means that you are maintaining strength around the joint, retaining your cardiovascular fitness and also managing your weight. This ensures that in my husband’s case he should recover quickly after his hip replacement next month.Exercise and Arthritis – Arthritis Action
Chairfit and Seated Pilates
If you or a friend have arthritis a good place to start with exercise is a chair based class. Mondays Seated Pilates 12.30am and Wednesdays Chairfit 11.30am.
