So what's new at your Centre?
Well, there are a lot of the old faithfuls still going:
Beginners badminton | Tuesday 10-11 |
Friday 10-11 | |
Beginners squash | Monday 2 - 4 |
Thursday 2 - 3 |
And coming after Study Break, will be Beginners Golf; so watch this space for further information, or ask at Reception.
Weightlifting coaching is available in the Weights Room on Monday, Wednesday and Friday 12 noon until 1 pm.
Yoga for Beginners and Better than Beginners on Tuesdays and Thursdays 1 - 2 is a relaxing 45 minutes at a decidedly easy pace. Quite a few people are coming to the 12-1 fitness class on Tuesdays and then using the Yoga session to wind down.
That brings us to the subject of warm-down. Many people have used the Recreation Centre warm-up procedure most successfully. This has helped them to avoid injuries and to become more supple. If you have just completed a vigorous work-out, then, to avoid any unpleasant aches and pains, try using the same five minutes routine as a means of winding-down. The waste products which are left in the muscle after vigorous activity can be removed by the simple stretching routine. It is thes waste products which cause so many of the aches and pains after hard exercise.
