Want to improve your fitness?
I would like to recommend an exercise class run by the lovely Rowena on Saturday mornings. The class is held at 10.45 for an hour at St Johns United Reformed Church on Mowbray Road, New Barnet (between Somerset Road and Station Road). The classes cost £6 a session. Rowena delivered some flyers door-to-door early this year and her leaflet attracted my husband's attention because the exercises were described as low to medium impact (he is now partially disabled but works hard to try and regain his former fitness). So, he decided to go along and loved it. Second time around he persuaded me to go along and, I must say, I enjoyed it and I have been going ever since. I feel very energised after the class and give myself a self-satisfied pat on the back for getting myself off my backside. The class is predominantly aerobics to music with some floor-work towards the end (well, muscle-stretching and so on). It's suitable for all ages and levels of fitness (my 78-year-old mother- in-law goes along). Anyway, it's good fun and Rowena is very nice and encouraging - even when my arm/leg co-ordination is rubbish. If you are feeling down in the dumps (or know somebody who is feeling this way), I'd definitely recommend it - a great bunch of people who have a laugh (at ourselves usually!!). So, if you want to try and reduce a few wobbly bits or just get a bit fitter then this might be the class for you! Just bring an exercise mat if you have one and a bottle of water (Rowena normally has a couple of spare mats and there is a kitchen for tap-water). If you wish to contact her then her number (which is on the flyers so it's public anyway) is 07710 972517.
