Welcome to the December newsletter, the month of sparkle and shine!
When is the right time to put up your Christmas tree? End of November, Christmas Eve…? For me 1st December, I can’t wait to put up the glittering lights and tinsel. It always brightens any dark, grey day!
This month there will be a break from Village Hall classes, Tuesday 20th, Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd December (week 4). However, you will be able to access two classes; Pilates and Mind Body Calm to do at your convenience fitting them in around your Christmas preparations. Online classes will continue as usual.
There will be a break after Christmas for both village hall and online classes; Monday 16th, Tuesday 27th, Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th December (Week 1). Village hall members will be able to access two classes to slot into your recovery from Christmas and Online members will have scheduled classes at the regular times.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions.
What’s your motivation to exercise?
EXERCISE CAN HELP…………
Exercise in adulthood helps prevent bone loss and muscle strength, particularly important during perimenopause and menopause.
Those of us that exercise regularly are less likely to suffer a hip fracture after a fall than those of us who are sedentary.
Most people should be aiming for 30 – 40 minutes , 3 – 4 times per week. Mixing up strength training, weight bearing exercise and flexibility/mobility training. The more variety, the better.
I’d love to hear your favourite exercise class, preferred sport or activity.
EXERCISE CAN HELP PREVENT ILLNESS……
I think we’ve all heard this at some time or other and that’s because it’s true!
It stimulates cellular immunity, supporting your immune system.
Helps you sleep better which is an important ‘healing’ time.
It lifts your mood which helps release stress, anxiety and relieves depression.
Exercise increases the heart rate giving the ‘heart muscle’ it’s very own workout which can reduce the risk of heart disease.
