Project London Health have had a few requests to set up a FREE Pre & Post natal Low Impact fitness group.


If this is of interest to you, let PLH know and we can get this set up for you. It will be based on the Rye using the caf? as the meeting and finishing point, followed by tea and coffee. Containing gentle stretching, power walking, arm and shoulder toning, whilst avoiding the lumbo-pelvic-hip area....


It could be once, twice or three times aweek - the group decides but will start mid week and introduce a Monday / Friday, or a spaced out Tue, Thurs & Sat for progression. The session will be only 20-min long so it is not too taxing.


Full details

Location? By the caf? on the Rye

When? Saturdays, meet for 9-20am

Start Time? 9-30am

What if I'm late?: We work to a set simple and easy routine, go the opposite way and you'll find us :-)

Partners, can they come? Yes, the 10am fitness group has a complete extended family who attend and with pushchair


Intensity? 20-mins, walking to power walking only. Nothing more than you would ordinarily do (but in a group)

Ahha... COST? FREE! Completely FREE! PLH is there for the 10am session, so doing another session just before is fine.


What do I need to do?

* Fill in a health form on www.AHM-Go.com, then email it back to [email protected]

* Bring a 1 Ltr bottle of water for arm & shoulder toning - this will be slow and gentle (unlike the 10am group)

* Bring some change for a tea / coffee at the end :-)


So its a social fitness group and FREE!



Its FREE, its Friendly, and its FUN...... so give it a go!


PLH

Pram, content and all are welcome!


This is a mild low impact session and short, with zero ab and transverse twisting..... no go areas.


Once the numbers continue to pick up, a start date will be set. The first one will be on a Saturday morning before the normal fitness group, and would be great for the partners to be involved too! The mums in the fitness group are back into pilates and I let them take part of the group at the end for the lumbo-pelvic-hip area.





PLH

Excellent responses!


Initially the plan to start was in a few weeks, perhaps a bit sooner now. What fits best with everyone, this coming Saturday or the following?


All you need is a bottle of water, 1-Ltr size for arm, shoulder and back toning, will do micro squats.


Please advise for a start date, this or next Sat?


PLH

Sats, we meet for 9-25am, then start at 9-30am and finish for 9-50am. We can then use 10-mins at the end to tweak the session which will be 100% input from you guys.


To get going, pop on to AHM-Go.com and fill in a health form, then ping it back to [email protected]


From the medical perspective, please ensure your GP / midwife know that you are find to Powerwalk and flex the arms no greater than above your shoulder height. There is no lumbo-pelvic-hip movements. These will contain everyday movements that you would ordinary undertake.


Will need a min of 8 to start the group this coming Saturday, so get the word out :-)


PLH

Thats fine Wiffwaff,


I've had a few that can't make this coming Saturday but can the next. Now I've seen the large response, I can start the group with say 5 or so. The sessions will follow the same routine so missing the 1st of 2nd session is fine.


If you have noticed the other PLH group on Saturday mornings that meet on the Rye for 10am (general fitness including post natal mums with the complete sign off from the midwife/GP), it started with just a hand full and are hitting numbers of over 20, and most recently 27. The fitness level of this group is varied from joggers to runners and down to powerwalkers....I remain at the back with the slowest ones.


PLH

The 'when to stop' (Pre natal) and 'when to start' (post natal) is based on how you feel and also input from your GP / Midwife.


This group will be different to others specifically in terms of duration, and areas of movement and toning. Its very short in duration, only 20-mins. Its similar if you are out in the park walking, but with a group of others; there is no running or jogging. If you feel stronger, then progress from a walk to a power walk.


The 10am group: this is aimed at those that want to power walk, jog or run. It lasts for an hour meeting for 10am, starting at 10-10am and finishing c. 11-10am. These guys (90% women) also use a 1Ltr bottle of water for arm toning but the intensity is elevated and contains a lot of transverse twists. Again, I run this group from the back so not even the powerwalker is left out or on their own. Every section is optional, so if you have a sore wrist / shoulder, then no dips. Think of the soft boot camp where everyone is smiling and have a chat...... this is that group.


Both groups are FREE, Fun & Friendly!

Hi Kapaxiana,


Yes you can, and then at the end you can meet up with the 10am fitness group where we finish. You may know some of the mums.


I'm about to update the headed to say it will start this Saturday, numbers will be low as some will be away.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
