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

[MelC]

Hi Everyone

Thanks for a fabulous first session, it was just what I needed to get my exercise routine started now the cold weather is over.

For anyone thinking about coming along and is worried about being fit enough, I can ensure you that you have nothing to worry about. Someone will come and run or walk with you so no one is ever on their own.

Everyone regroups on a very regular basis and if you are one of the fitter ones you can do more than the others. It really is a group for everyone no matter what your fitness level is. Plus you can learn to count in different languages!

Sorry my toe is a bit unhappy at the moment owing to wearing cr*p trainers http://www.carvey-running-tips.com/images/couch_potatoe_cartoon.jpgand using them last week I hope to have normal service resumed next week - Kath and Gai report an excellent session was had by all.

[Proj London Health]

Really pleased to hear!

You did so well and clear to see you enjoyed it!

As you noticed, Julia introduced a stretch that I will always adopt now as the static Hamstring stretch can be difficult to perfect, so gold star to her!

A ha! I've found the posts at last! Didn't ache this week, my fitness is improving :))

Thank you McCabe

[Proj London Health]

Just back from Centre Parks!

So, jogging shoes by the doors and be at the caf? for 9-55am. And Newsome..... me thinks I know who you are :-)

Also..., welcome to Mel-C last week, I hope your legs (Hamstrings & Adductors) were in good form on Monday.

Elle & Christine, I have your email and will respond shortly. This is completely FREE, just bring some change for a coffee or tea at the end. Its all really good fun, 'I lead from the back' (seems to be my catch phrase) and is open for all paces from powerwalkers and above!

Best,

McCabe

Good News to all!

I will be allocating and free issuing up to 15 Project London Health T-shirts & rain jackets - supported by NHS Southwark & the Council. The thrust is to support PLH with all the FREE fitness groups in S'wark. I will bring some of the samples along to the EDT next Thursday 10th March 8pm-ish so you can try on for size (they should be ready by then).

There you go, a FREE fitness group and FREE garments!

They will be awarded on the basis of a couple of sessions you get a T-shirt, and another couple then you achieve the fitness rain jacket. BUT....if you have already completed 4 or more sessions, then they will be awarded to you.

Remember, there are only 15 allocated so first come first served as they say!

Best!

McCabe.

[kmoron]

[MelC]

I shall be there on Saturday. Actually my adductors were fine afterwards, I hope that doesn't mean I was doing it wrong!

[Proj London Health]

Hi Kmoron & MelC,

Kmoron, we meet for Saturday mornings at 9-55am outside the Rye caf?. In a few weeks time you will not be able to miss us as we will all be in purple tops!. As per the the ECG Cycle, the health forms are on the website www.AHM-Go.com, fill it in and email back...... but you only need to do one for any of the fitness groups.

If you read through the threads, its more of a buddle of fun with a bit of fitness thrown in.... and some team building. Just bring some change for a tea / coffee at the end.

MelC - good to hear from you. Your Adductors are clearly in good form, infact very good form indeed! Look forward to seeing you there.

9-55am :-)

McCabe.

[Proj London Health]

Trainners by the door for the morning,

For those thinking about joining the group, we cover about 5Km with 7 stop points where we regather / regroup. For the faster ones, we release you into Speed Play session which is perfect trainning, again, using the demarcation points to aim for then cruise back to the last one in the group.

As well as the CV, we also include Toning for the legs, core & upper body, and finish of with some Chi Gung related exercise.

The only money you need is for a tea or coffee at the end!

9-55am >:D<

[ShakyP]

I`ve been recovering from a virus for last 3 weeks but hope to be back to full fitness next week - I`ve missed the morning sessions (even the rainy cold ones!) so can't wait to get back into it :-)

Shakira

[Proj London Health]

Good Day Shikira!

Yes, I heard you were feeling pretty poorly and did the right thing, to stay under covers to fight off the bug.

The first edition of the FREE issue PLH T-shirts & Fitness Jackets should be ready for Thursday, if you are about I will bring these along to the EDT for allocating / sizing up (we meet 8pm-ish on Thursday's once a month for a couple of orange juices or stronger).

BTW, this coming Saturday we will all be doing a FREE 5Km Red Nose day walk / jog in Dulwich Park for 10am start - we are suggesting that a donation of ?5 is made out to Red Nose day 2011. If you can find the thread on page one and make a comment: Yay or Nay :))

Best,

McCabe

[ShakyP]

Thanks McCabe - It's a yay :)) - 5k Red nose day run sounds great and no Peckham Rye to contend with so that's a bonus. Will also try and bag myself one of those t-shrts and drop by EDT on thurs eve - see you then!

[Proj London Health]

Hello all!

Just to make sure that you know we are all in Dulwich Park tomorrow morning, 10am, for the FREE 5Km Red Nose Day (3-laps). But don't be scared, you can do just 1 or 2 laps, its about cause and not a race.

Interested, please pop on to the Thread that is Live on this page.

See you there!

McCabe

[JerseyEmily]

Hi, I'd like to join for the 5k tomorrow morning in the Park too :)

Looking forward to it!

[Proj London Health]

Its that time again,

Trainers by the front door - 9-55am at the Rye Caf?. Its sunny all day tomorrow and 12C!

Keep an eye out on the BBC Red Nose Day tonight, Proj London Health will be there with a huge cheque. So I may be flagging in the morning.

PLH

[Proj London Health]

Oh yes,

If you bring two bottles of water (1/2 Ltr ....) we can do some arm, shoulder, pec & Trap toning. Evian is purer, albeit sparkling is lighter..... yes, I am joking. Fill the bottles with whatever you want :-) !

PLH

[ShakyP]

Great session this morning, thanks McCabe -lovely to be running in the spring sunshine at last. Will be rocking the purple t-shirt next week :))

[Proj London Health]

Good Job!

So next week, purple tops, and....... two 1/2 Litre bottles of water - these weigh about 0.6Kg for upper body toning.

BTW, even the Cycle team were purpled-up today!
