Hello,
Keeping strong as we get older is one of the most important things to maintain our independence, keep free from injury and enjoy the things we love doing. Here are some ideas from the Physio Will Harlow below:
You’re Not “Too Old” to Build Muscle – Here’s Proof
The Home Strength Plan Everyone Over 60 Needs
Don’t forget to increase your protein intake as you age. Protein synthesis becomes less efficient, so we need to increase the amount we eat. Eggs, chicken, lentils, Greek yoghurt, and fish are all good sources, so don’t skimp on these foods.
If you want the science here it is: Protein Requirements Change With Age (Here’s Why)
Summer Break
The dates for the summer break are:
No classes from Monday, 20 July, until we start again on Monday, 17 August.
Thursday night Zumba has finished for the summer.
Monday morning 8am Pilates
If you know anyone who has limited free time during the day due to work schedules, this class might be a perfect way to start the week.
Zoom chair-based classes for people with MS or other Neurological conditions
If you know anyone with MS or another neurological condition, who would like to exercise from home, please ask them to get in touch with me for the link. The amazing local MS Society provides these classes for free. I teach them on Wednesdays and Fridays at lunchtime. There are also face-to-face classes twice a month and Hydro weekly.
