Looking forward to the second meeting this coming Friday (9th) - hope to see lots of you there. We will be hearing from Russell Thompson from Cumulus Outdoor Events about Coasteering - which is the exciting 'sport' of scrambling around the coast, into the water and up the rocks! I am so looking forward to this as I am really keen to try it next year. Russell took me on my abseiling this year so if anyone can get me coasteering it will be him. He is very positive and encouraging but also allows you to push yourself to your own limits without forcing! I am working towards next years challenge by trying to strengthen my arms, using my pilates band everyday.
Our next speaker is the very lovely Nikki Harman who will be talking about the benefits of meditation. In this rather crazy and full on world that we live in, where we are constantly available and connected, it is vital that we take time to learn some meditation techniques. If we don't help ourselves to counter balance modern life then we will all be suffering from stress related illness before too long. I believe that stress is the single worst factor for building up the toxins that cause our health problems. So get meditating everyone!!
We will also be hearing from Lisa Arnold who is talking about Zumba. This is the wonderfully exciting dance exercise class with fantastic latin style music. I am looking forward to hearing about this. I think it may be a little to much of a challenge for me but I aspire to be fit enough to have a go sometime. I hear Lisa's class start up next door to my Qi Gong class just as we are finishing. I was then talking to a friend who attends the class and recommended Lisa as a fab positive enthusiastic teacher so I emailed her and she replied straight away. Really pleased she is coming to talk to us and looking forward to hearing about her classes.
Our final speaker is Aaron Ticehurst who is the Duty Manager at Purbeck Sports Centre. Having spoken to a few friends who are members there they all said how encouraging the staff are and how nice it is to go to a gym without feeling intimidated! For some of us that is a huge issue. It is scary when you are just starting your fitness journey to think about going into a gym, we imagine it to be the mecca of fit people where we will stand out like a sore thumb. The gym is a useful place in the cold winter months when we can't get the enthusiasm to go outside and exercise! Why not stay in the warm with some good music instead and friendly gym staff to encourage you.
This should be a great evening which will really encourage and inspire. So make sure you get there! No excuses about cold wintery evenings and not feeling like coming out. The fitness journey can't stop just because the winter is here. This is the time we really need to hear from people ready to inspire us and keep us going.
See you Friday at 7.15pm.
