Fitness For All

Little (and local) ways you can incorporate health and wellbeing into your every day ...

Keep It Green 
Community projects work across the UK with residents to help them discover their local green spaces whilst creating an altogether more wonderful world. Whether it’s planting trees, building stiles or clearing streams, you will be working out your body, your mind and giving your conscience a good old cleanse too.

For The Young at Heart
If you’re seeking something a little more avant garde then look no further – try Clog Dancing; a style of dance so fierce that sparks can, literally, fly…if you give enough welly. Get stuck in and traditional dancing will give you a really good aerobic workout and a new pair of shoes too!  Phoenix Clog are a mixed side who practice weekly and make regular star appearances at fetes and fairs around the area.

Good Vibrations
If you often feel like it’s been the longest week in history, on a Tuesday afternoon then you, my friend, might need to try BWM, where, to the sound of Korean drums you throw yourself into moving meditation to re calibrate your system, get your brain out of “psycho” and into neutral. Ommmm.
