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.



McCabe

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

    • This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.
