Move it or Lose it with Chris

A good start to the week with my ‘Monday Movers’ at St Helens Chain Lane Community Centre

A great attendance and motivation as always, wonderful team work and the singers were in full voice 🎶 🎶

However, the music to my ears was the routine, the precise timing and every class member stepping the right way at the same together. . .

Fabulous!! Well done everyone 💁‍♀️

It’s been a great week of classes for Move it or Lose it with Chris
We finished the week with our Circuits Class. .

One of the greatest privileges of leading my classes is watching my class members discover just how strong they can become, and more so in the circuits class which has literally gone from ‘Strength to Strength’

Every circuits session is designed to build strength, balance, mobility and confidence using a wide variety of equipment. From hand weights and kettlebells to resistance bands, batons, bender balls, steps and bodyweight exercises, every piece of equipment has a purpose. We can adapt every exercise so all class members can work at their own level while still challenging themselves at each workstation. .

Strength training is so much more than just building muscle. For older adults, it’s about maintaining independence, protecting bone health, reducing the risk of falls, improving posture and giving each person the confidence to enjoy an active life. . .

The smiles, positivity, motivation, determination and encouragement shared in every class are what make this community so special. Everyone supports each other, celebrates every achievement and proves that it’s never too late to build up your fitness levels and become stronger and more active. .

Sending out a warm welcome our new class members, it’s good to have you on board - From your feedback already, I know you’re loving the classes and feeling the benefit of the exercises. . .

Thank You’ 🙏 for the enquiries I’ve had regarding my classes, I really do wish I could accommodate every request for a place. However, I do have places available in just one class. .

Well it’s certainly been a challenging week with the heatwave 🥵

Thank you to 121 class members who joined me in 6 classes this week in all 3 venues St Helens Chain Lane Community Centre St Ann's Millennium Centre Rainhill Guide House You all did great!

We ended the week with two great classes on Friday on the hottest day of the week. . .Therefore, I have to acknowledge my class members for their dedication to fitness, they certainly didn’t let the heat put them off. . . I pulled out all the stops to keep everyone cool 😎 with jugs of iced water, bags of ice, hydration breaks and toned down exercises, until these parachutes came out. .

This was supposed to be a great way of cooling everyone down, with a nice gentle flow of air, but they all went that one step further and created a fantastic workout! Fab squats here ladies! 👏👏👏

If that wasn’t impressive, I then had 8 ladies who went on to join me and 10 other ladies in our Circuits’ class 💁‍♀️

Another acknowledgement goes to my circuits class members who completed 2 x 10 workstations with 1 minute on each workout 👏👏 Great work on your strength ladies!

I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend, enjoy the weather, but try and keep cool and stay hydrated 💦
