| Hello, I have been thinking about balance and how it is so important. It is something we practice in every class. Balance practice is not just for when we get older it is a skill we need to work on throughout our life so our balance is good when we get older. A fall in later life can be catastophic if we break a hip for example. You can practice and improve your balance any time- stand on one leg when you boil the kettle or when you are cleaning your teeth. Standing on one leg also improves bone density. Balance exercises: 13 Moves with Instructions (healthline.com) Balance exercises – NHS (www.nhs.uk) Cancelling a class booking If you need to cancel a class booking please go to Gymcatch and cancel there – as long as you do it before the class starts your Gymcatch account will be credited.
