Hello,
Happy new month! Gosh it is May. I have been fascinated to see some flowers on our Nordic Walks that I didn’t even know the name of like the Cuckoo Flower (Lady’s smock or Mayflower). So pretty.


Nordic Walking Refresher Technique session –  free session 4.30pm Thursday May 5.
If you have done Nordic Walking before and would like a refresher session or you are completely new come to this session at 4.30pm May 5 on Worden Park main meet main carpark. To book go to Book a class – Do Fitness with Diane Oakden or text me 07818444841.


Sleep
This is something many of my class members have struggled with. Researchers have shown that after people sleep, they tend to retain information and perform better on memory tasks. Our bodies all require long periods of sleep in order to restore and rejuvenate, to grow muscle, repair tissue, and synthesizehormones. It is a much increased problem around the menopause. If you are consistently waking between 2am and 4am and struggle to get back to sleep it would be worth talking to your GP about it rather than suffering in silence.
