Week beginning 21 October – getting the most out of walking

Hello,
We are fortunate in Leyland and Chorley to have plenty of green spaces to go for walks and enjoy the fresh air. There are plenty of ways to make walking a more effective workout. Here are some ideas: How to get the most out of your walking (Adults 55+) (youtube.com)
Also, Nordic Walking is amazing for improving strength and cardiovascular fitness. We have Saturday morning and Monday evening groups. If you would like to join us get in touch and I will arrange a technique session for you to get the most out of Nordic Walking.

This year’s Leyland Christmas lunch is a buffet at Fox Lane Cricket Club where we have the whole function room to ourselves. Cost £15

I have started collecting money from those who wish to come. Please feel free to invite friends too who are not class members.

Chairfit in Euxton Tuesdays  at 11.15 am
We have started a chair-based exercise class at Euxton Community Centre.  This class is great if, for example, you have arthritis in your knees or hips, you are waiting for or recovering from hip or knee replacements, if you have mobility issues from eg Parkinson’s or MS or you generally want to get stronger and improve your cardiovascular fitness, balance, confidence and coordination.
