We meet every Friday morning, from 11.30 to 12.30, at St Nicholas church hall in Burnage.
We do some warm-up exercises first and then we work individually, moving around different 'stations' in a circuit. Finally, we come together as a group again to do stretches and strengthening exercises, concentrating on different parts of the body.
The age of the participants ranges widely - from the 60s to the 90s! Fitness levels vary too, but there is never any pressure to compete.
Participants work at their own pace and are free to opt out of any exercise.
You’ll find I talk about technique a lot. Bad technique in an exercise can make the exercise ineffective and can lead to injury.
The classes are designed so you can do them at your own pace. If you’re very fit I’ll make sure you are challenged. If you are unused to exercise I’ll be gentle with you. There will always be a chair nearby so you can sit if you need to (most exercises can be performed seated).
When we do exercises to improve balance there will also be a chair available so you can stabilise yourself.
Although I want you to take the exercises seriously and do them to the best of your ability, above all I want the classes to be enjoyable and, if there’s something you really don’t like, please tell me.
