Free! - Every Session! Fitness & Toning on the Rye - Sat @10am 16 to 60+


Recommended Posts

11pm,


Just in from the National Theatre, great Alan Ayckbourn play! More to the point, we left at 6pm and it was -5C and back with less ice and was 1C.


Will be on the Rye in the morning, even if just one turns up :-) Will use the grass if even a tiny bit of ice on the path.

No worries Lady Muck :-)


It was an ice skating rink on Saturday, so you did the right thing!


I will be away next Saturday (11th), but the following will be the last one for December. I think a bit of RED for Christmas and mulled wine at the end with mince pies would be so good to finish 2010. I will send an all email this week.

G'day ExtensionsRus,


This group follows an easy routine, so long as a couple of the regulars turn up then its going ahead. There are a couple of new ones due to start the following Saturday.....



Thanks,


PLH

  • 3 weeks later...

Happy New Year to all!


Its time to burn those calories off and the FREE fitness sessions start again next Saturday at 10am.


For those wishing to join the group for the first time and think its only for runners, then you will be pleased to know that this is a powerwalking & jogging group with stretching, toning and some Chi Gung exercise thrown in too.


Simply fill in the health form and email it back (see the starter page for more details).


Each session burns approximately 600 calories! See you next Saturday!


McCabe

Wow,


in the past couple of days, there are 8 new members starting.


Please feel free to post a message on the forum to state your objectives and........ as an incentive, lets aim for a 5Km mid Feb - not a race, but a motivator!

BTW: If you have any friends in the N'London area......., we will be getting lots of FREE groups in the Islington & Finsbury area for 2011.

G'day Maria & Twin Mummy!


The group restarts this Saturday at 10am by the caf? (on the Rye). Completely FREE, just being some change for a tea / coffee at the end - very easy going from powerwalkers, but there are joggers in the group so you can join them and Lou lou from the Tuesday night runner groups also comes along (she does a FOC group on Tue eve).


If you haven't filled in a health form, you can do so by popping on to the website and popping halfway down the Healthform page..... copy it and paste it into an email. Any questions before Sat ... please ask.


McCabe

For all the new ones, the group is very relaxed and works through a gradual warm up. You can remain at the powerwalking or jogging pace or pick up the pace.


See you all in the morning!

Hi McCabe - I'd be really interested in joining, but have to negotiate with OH as it clashes with little kickers/ballet (not mine, for the young'uns) and he'll need to be the taxi service. How long does the session last? I think I can get away with this as long as I'm done by 11.30 (I'm sooooo indispensable ;-))

G'day Ryedelema,


We meet for 10am and finish stretching / CV & toning for c.11am. On dry days, there is the option of the cardio warm down with Chi Gung related exercise which helps to resume your heart rate and breathing pattern (c.5-mins in this weather). Then, we aim for the caf? for a tea or coffee.


So in short, you will have heaps of time.


Yesterdays session was excellent for the first day back. While toning, we counted in Spanish, French, German, Thai and sometimes fitted in English too. As this group is aimed at powerwalkers & joggers, you never have to worry about dropping in and out of session .... and I lead from the back so no one is ever left on their own.

Oh goodness - I didn't realise I'd have to have my brain switched on for this - I can probably manage 1-10 in ummmmm...Teletubbies....Upsy daisy.....Sooty (off Sooty and Sweep). I'll swot up Wikipedia-like.


And time for a shower before I get besieged again too - marvellous stuff. Now I just need Acas to help me open negotiations....

It gets better,


Sometimes on the Rye its in Korean too! In some of the other groups it includes Catalan, Iraqi, Afghan, Polish and Russian. We use to do Czech too!


Counting in Teletubbies is good, but...... if I recall it takes 4-seconds per each of their numbers, so you may find that your body will be so toned that you will have a 6-pack at the end of one session..... due to Eccentric Loading :-)


Just in from the PLH Ride London, shower is now required and then I think upto Lorenso's In Crystal Palace for Lunch.


And then Dancing on Ice tonight as one of our AHM members is doing her stuff on there.



Best,


McCabe

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
