Please be aware that class prices (set by Forest of Dean County Council) will be rising to £3.50 per class as of August 2021 and need to be bought in advance in sets of 5 (ie £17.50). If you wish pay by telephone, or to buy a resistance band at a suitable strength band for your personal use, please contact the FoDDC office on 01594 810000

Online Active Balance classes every Thursday!
Active Balance classes are still available to you each week from the comfort of your own home!
Please note: if you are not already a member of one of my classes, we will need to speak on the phone in advance to ascertain the suitability of the class for your needs and go through a few medical questions (you'll need to have details of medical prescriptions and be able to report your current health situation and any major operations, illness or injuries you've had in the last couple of years) - this information will of course be kept in the strictest confidence. Please ring me for details.
All you need to join in with our online classes each week is:
1) a clear space in which to move (a chair with at least 3 feet (1m) of space on either side to get up and move to the back of the chair for the balance exercises)
2) a device with internet connection to see what I'm doing (this could be a laptop, computer, smartphone, iPad or Tablet)
3) joining instructions - once you have expressed an interest in joining, I'll send you instructions by email (so I will need your email address!)
4) if you have one, a resistance band; if not, don't worry, they are not essential but if you want one, let me know. They will cost £7 each plus P&P unless you live in the Cheltenham area.
The cost of the classes is a flat £13 per calendar month, payable at the beginning of the month, for as many classes as you wish to participate in for that month. There is no commitment beyond each month, although if you wish to participate regularly and you are able to set up an ongoing monthly direct debit or standing payment, this would make payments easier for you as you won't have to remember to do it each month. If you can't pay online, then a cheque in the post is fine. Please contact me for details.
Finally, please be aware that you participate in these classes at your own risk - it is your responsibility to look after yourself. This includes letting me know of any new health issues by the start of the class, making sure that you stop to rest and/or drink water and take medications if required, as and when necessary, asking for clarification about or omitting any exercise you are not sure about doing. Neither my training body (Later Life Training) or I will accept liability for any injury that might occur as a result of your participation in the class. Any instruction or advice given is no substitute for that of a medical practitioner such as your GP or physiotherapist, under whose guidance you remain and should adhere to. Thank you for taking care of yourself!

Additional inclusivity training completed
In January I attended a professional development workshop designed to offer exercise instructors an opportunity to look at how we run our classes and what improvements we could make to enable as broad a range of client needs to be met as possible and to ensure that classes are inclusive to everyone wishing to attend. This could, for example, be a matter of modifying the rules of a game like netball to ensure that both independently mobile and wheelchair users can participate and gain enjoyment from the activity and not feel left out or put at a disadvantage.
Want to get fitter, faster?
A few spaces have opened up in my timetable for 1-1 consultations and follow-up rehabilitation/training sessions. Ideal if you're suffering with a long-term health condition that limits your mobility and ability to get out and about, as I come to you! Also perfect for post-illness recovery, when you might not yet be ready to attend a community-based class. And if you've been given physiotherapy exercises following a hip/knee operation and need extra guidance or motivation to carry them out properly and make the most of your new joint, I can help. Contact me for details now!
Easter break 2020
The only break over Easter for any classes will be at Corse and Staunton on the Bank Holiday Monday (on 13 April). All other classes will continue either side of the bank holiday weekend as usual.
The Oasis class to celebrate it's seventh anniversary!

Free first aid training for the over 50s in Gloucs - apply now!
Have you ever thought how useful it would be to have some first aid skills? Perhaps you've been in a situation where you would like to have been able to offer first aid but felt your skills were a little rusty, that you didn't feel confident enough to step in or maybe had concerns about your fitness or mobility?
Funding has been made available for people aged 50+ to attend free 2-hr training sessions in everyday first aid, delivered by British Red Cross instructors in venues around Gloucestershire, in the coming few months. Each tailored training session is aimed at instilling confidence in those who feel that health issues (such as difficulty getting down to the floor to carry out resuscitation, for example) might hinder or prevent them from offering first aid in the first instance. Workarounds to the usual interventions will be taught as well as assessing when it is safe to offer first aid as well as how - useful skills at any age.
Please note that this training is open to all over 50s in the Gloucestershire area, whether self-assessed as having physical impairments or not (and there's no obligation to be a member of one of my classes either)! Whether you've previously qualified as a first aider and want to brush up your knowledge or whether you're completely new to the idea, you'll be very welcome.
If you - or someone you know - might be interested in attending, can you please contact me with your name, contact details and your postcode. You will be notified when a session is organised within a few miles of your postcode - if you are willing to travel further, please add this information along with your details.
NEWS UPDATE: Training sessions have already been held at Lefroy Court sheltered housing association, St Mary's Parish Centre and at the Oasis Centre (all in Cheltenham) - sessions have been universally applauded by all the participants as being useful, helpful for those with mobility issues - and also great fun!

A little Christmas gift!
Our wonderful Oasis Centre exercise class recently raised £100 from donations given at a "soup and crumble lunch" held at a member's home and opened to the community.
We wanted to support the vicar and congregation of St Aidan and St Silas' Church, which used to host our classes until maintenance costs forced the closure and demolition of St Aidan's earlier this year.
The congregation has been rehoused at the Oasis Centre until sufficient funds are raised to rebuild the church on its former site and the Rev Philip Smith was delighted to accept our contribution towards the fund.

Zest for Life "ages" a few decades!
In order to understand better some of the health and mobility issues that can affect us as we get older, I donned an "age" suit at the Later Life Training Conference held in Coventry in November and attempted to navigate an obstacle course whilst wearing it. The outfit replicates some of the mobility issues faced by someone with a combination of eye disease, osteoporosis and arthritis. It was quite an eye-opener!
The conference brought delegates up to date in various areas of research into the effects of evidence-based exercise (which all of us LLT-qualified instructors are trained to deliver) on conditions such as heart disease, osteoporosis, Parkinsons Disease and so on.
There were also fascinating seminars held on themes such as frailty and how it is measured - did you know that age does not automatically equate to functional deterioration? In other words there is huge variation between the capabilities of older people (a 70-yr old can function as well as a 50-yr old but also might only be as able-bodied as a 90-yr old) and that this can be significantly improved no matter how old you are when you start?
I also attended workshops designed to reinvigorate our practice and to throw a few new exercise ideas into the mix - so regular attendees of my classes may notice a few subtle changes to our weekly sessions! Do come and join us and begin to reduce your biological, if not chronological, age!
