Week beginning 4 November

Hello,
Whenever I get a new class member coming to their first class they are presented with a health questionnaire. This is very important so I can modify or tailor exercise to whatever condition someone might have. Quite often people have high blood pressure BP (or sometimes low blood pressure) and they are on medication to bring it into an ideal range. Regular exercise amongst other things helps to keep your blood pressure in that range too. Here is a good article explaining why this is important:
Understanding blood pressure readings


Please let me know if there are any changes in your health.
