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

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
