Walkfit Class

A Walkfit class is a great way to add some midweek movement without heading out into the dark and cold. 🍂

Walkfit gives you the chance to get moving indoors, enjoy some music and add plenty of purposeful steps to your Wednesday evening.

There's no complicated choreography and you don't need to worry about keeping up. Just come along, move at your own pace and enjoy being active.

Walkfit is on tonight at 6pm at Cardinal Hume School before we take a break for half term next week.

Strong Bones

Today is World Osteoporosis Day.

Strong bones need the right kinds of challenge throughout life.

When we talk about exercise for bone health, it's important to remember that not all movement challenges our bones in the same way.

Weight-bearing activity such as walking and resistance exercise are particularly important for bone strength. Pilates can also have a useful role by helping to build muscle strength, improve balance, posture and movement confidence.

That combination matters because looking after our bones isn't only about the bones themselves, staying strong and steady can also help reduce the risk of falls as we get older.

Pilates isn't the whole answer to osteoporosis, but it can be one useful part of a varied approach to staying active and strong.

Keep moving, keep challenging your body and give your bones something to respond to.

World Osteoporosis Day

Bone Health

When do you think we should start thinking about our bones?

Bone health isn't something that suddenly becomes important when we're older.

Our bones are living tissue and respond to the demands we place on them. Weight-bearing activity and resistance exercise are particularly important because they give bones a reason to adapt.

Strength, balance and staying active also matter as we get older because they can help us remain confident in movement and reduce the risk of falls.

Tomorrow is World Osteoporosis Day, so it's a good reminder that looking after our bones is something we can think about throughout adulthood.

What are you doing today that your future self might thank you for?
