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


Recommended Posts

Hello all,


This week has flown by.......


Trainers by the front door and a 1Ltr of water. A tip from Martina, if its a cold morning, fill the bottle up with warm water to keep you hand/s warm.



Catch you for 10am by the caf?




McCabe

I hear we are heading into a heat-wave shortly, as in a week or so - Yay!


We can get back to Tai Chi (Chi Gung) at the end of the sessions, and also.... me thinks getting a bit of yoga in too :-) So team building, low impact cardio, and.... fun.... all for FREE!


Is it permissible to use a capital letter after a hyphen? - well I've done it anyway.




McCabe

More joining by the week!


Its FREE, its Easy Going, and its FUN!



No membership, weekly or monthly fees. Come along with a 1Ltr bottle of water for arm, shoulder, and back toning. We work in sections of just 300m's and stop for toning, stetching and other funky things.


We have powerwalkers, joggers and faster ones - but we work as a team. We have pre natal, post natal, health challenges, and a bundle of others who want to get fitter and have a social time.


Its not a military or boot camp, and its completely unfunded. As a 'McCabe', I've enjoyed being a super triathlete and swimmer, I'm purely putting things back into the community. We are c.100 strong on the Rye team - 25 ave turn out.


You can be 16, 36, 66 etc, and if you have a none English background, we will use your language to count our dips, squats etc..... Are you super fit, or with MS, diabetes, or a nagging joint? I lead the power walkers and therefore you will be in safe hands.


Saturdays, 10am, by the caf? - and finish off on warm days with Chi Gung (Tai Chi).

Hi everyone,


I really am enjoying the group!! I think anyone who wants some socialising and some easy to start fitness, should definitely give it a try!!

I am away the next two Saturdays, but I will be back. Can't wait!

Krista

Hi, can't do this week as working & sadly looking at my calendar not around until after the Easter hols! 😒 will be going to fitness Julia's on Sundays though when I can! Will miss the session & you guys - any news on the evening session starting again or are we waiting for the nights to get lighter? X

Salut, hola, Wie Ghets and hello to all!


Don't forget to bring your 1Ltr bottle of water with you in the morning for arm, shoulder and bak toning - and if the sun is still up, then for refreshments too.


I think I have the balance spot-on with the powerwalkers and joggers - infact now we are coming into Spring I may just make it a wee bit more competitive for those that have amble of energy and wish to generate extra latic acid :-)



Catch you for 10am by the caf? on the Rye in the morning (Sat).



Best!


McCabe



Oh yes, we need to fix a date for the midweek evening sessions once the clocks spring forwards. Again, completely FREE!

Guys,


Its the Friday Rah Rah for the 10am start in the morning.


Hey, Fitness Julia raised ?4,500 from the auction last week - such a fantastic result!


My tyres are pumped up the for cycle over, so see you then!



McCabe: 'Low Impact Cardio' fitness

Hi folks, it looks like you had a lovely day for it. I haven't been for ages due to the fact that I have been working hard on my degree. I'm the final stage and desperately need some opposite sex couples to complete my survey.

So whilst you rest from your workout and if fancy helping me out, please click on the link to survey http://theitfairy.co.uk/melanie/


You and your partner both need to complete the survey - but you do it separately. And it is all confidential.

I will be very grateful to anyone who helps me out - a big thank you as it is really hard getting people to help out.

I'll be back in May once I have finished my 12,000 words!

Hi all - glad the weather is getting warmer and less rainy! (touch wood!)


I set up a facebook group for those of us who are facebook users - go here - and ask to join and I'll approve your request! https://www.facebook.com/groups/263817580451220/

Good session today!


Put your feet up and watch the London Marathon in the morning. I'll be at the 7.5 mile mark on the LHS by Deptford Fire Station and at the 12-mile point on the LHS - Jamacia Road just before the right turn onto Tower Bridge.


Having done 1/2 marathons each Saturday morning on the Rye, these guys have my biggest respect!




McCabe

Think, .... a cold winters day with ice on the pavement.


Now,..... sunny, mild and dry-ish



Review: 'Got hammered on Friday - veg'd in bed on Saturday, and Sunday (can you put a comma before 'and'?), then back to work on Monday with a wasted weekend.


No more points to make - Sat, 10am by the Rye Caf?. Its low impact cardio exercise, Its totally FREE, its FUN and I don't have any grumpy people in the group.



McCabe

Hi,


I would be interested in joining in with this group, please can somebody provide further information about this? From what I can gather this happens every week on a saturday at 10am and is free, is this correct? If so where is the meeting point and do I need to bring anything?


Thanks

Hi Corascott,


Yes, its totally FREE, a 10am start meeting by the caf? on the Rye.


I started the group in 2008 and has gone from strenght to strenght - where the team members participate in leading the group in each of the 8 to 10 300m sections of the routine.


The team is made up of powerwalkers, joggers and the faster ones too. Between each of the 300m sections, the team stop for stretching, toning and many other things too. Just bring along a 1Ltr bottle of water for arm, shoulder and back toning and rehyudration - and also some change for a tea / coffe at the end.


I've just started managing two of my wifes groups in Dulwich park (?5 pay as you go), on Tue 7-30pm and Sat at 9-30am, so I should be able to make the tail end of the Sat Rye session.



Best!


McCabe

OK you East Dulwich dudies that want FREE fitness - we are less than 24Hrs away, this must be years 6 now or so?!


Get your kit ready tonight so you slip into it in the morning - it really does work that way. I have some funny jokes between the fitness session and one that is demonstrably un-tellable, nope, I just can't tell it - but visually, it rocks!


Sat, 10am, by the caf? on the Rye. Just bring change for a tea / coffee at the end, and a 1 Ltr bottle of water for arm, shoulder and back toning.




McCabe

Hi McCabe. Do you meet on the Rye for fitness sessions any other times too e.g. Thurs nights or Sun morns? Or is it just Saturday mornings? I'd love to join you come July if I could but Sat morns aren't poss for me unfortunately. I look forward to hearing from you, Many thanks, Kelly

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
