I am really proud of our indoor fitness studio sessions at the Sobell Leisure Centre every Saturday morning. They have been going for for over thirteen months and for a while we had no new people, despite us promoting it around the borough.
But over the last few months we have gradually built numbers, and the group is always inspiring and motivating each other.
This morning was quite cold - well it is December. But we still encouraged the group out. Lazza ran the session this morning - and has done very well since September. This is down to listening and learning.
We run different exercise routines each week. It is normally a mixture of core, legs and arms, but we also do some cardio, balance, stretches, and have included boxability and high intensity interval training too. This morning we started with kinetic stretches (movement based), followed by a Tabata (another HIIT routine - where we picked seven exercises and repeated each of them seven times for a set period of time before moving to the next one). Everyone pushed themselves well, and we sweated, laughed, and encouraged each other.
Our main focus is obviously helping people who would probably not get access to this kind of intervention. We demonstrate that everything we do in the studio people can do at home. But working together definitely helps us do more. Very proud of what we are doing. However, without seed funding next year it will have to stop. We will wait and see.
