February Newsletter

I am pleased to say that – weather permitting! – I am running a full timetable of all classes throughout the month, with the only cancellation being my Wednesday morning seniors class in Northgate on Wed 15th Feb, as this is half-term week and I don’t run that class in the school holidays.

However, the month has started with our first wintry blast!! So if there are any class cancellations due to heavy snow, please keep checking back on the News page on this website, which I will keep updated constantly during this weather.

Otherwise I look forward to helping you achieve your health and fitness goals and see you in class!

Bring a Friend for Free Month!

If you have a friend/neighbour/colleague who would be interested in exercising but just needs a little encouragement to start, then please let them know that they may have a free introductory class with me during December.

Health Benefits of Exercise

I know I keep reminding you of all the health benefits of exercise during class, but I just wanted to reiterate what I saw reported in the press recently : i.e. exercising for as little as 15 minutes a day can add three years to your life, according to research.  They found that just a short burst of vigorous activity, rather than gruelling hours spent at the gym, reduced the risk of dying early by 14%.  Every additional 15 minutes of exercise a day further reduces the risk of early death by 4% and cancer by 1%.  The Government recommends adults get at least two-and-a-half hours of exercise a week, or 30 minutes a day.  There – just thought you’d like reminding!!

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me, I will always be pleased to hear from you.
