We’re so honoured to have had this beautiful poem written about our neuro fitness classes by one of the group attendees!
Amy's Group Exercise Class
Every Thursday just after noon
We meet at Ashley Green.
Where Amy runs her exercise class -
What a sight! It has to be seen.
There's Heather and Shelia, Keith and Fran
Asa, Paul and Ray;
We've all got our own aches and crakes,
But we enjoy it in machoistic way!
We warm up sitting in our chairs
Throwing bags and catching them if we can,
Going round and round and back again
'Til we're back to where we began.
Then, in pairs, we exercise at the wall:
Throwing a weight from our heads to the floor,
Or pulling on a strap, skipping without ropes,
Or high stepping and much, much more.
Amy and Karen check if we're doing it right
And help us if we've gone astray,
Whilst the air is full of girlish laughter
As some ladies chat away.
We're allowed just one break to sit for a while,
And relax for a minute or two,
But once refreshed by Karen's cups of water,
We've even more exercises to do.
Each time, we're rigorously put us through our paces,
There's really no place to hide,
But feeling some benefit from all our effort,
Gives us a sense of pride.
So, to Amy and Karen we give our thanks
For stretching us week to week -
Although when we leave, some feel knackered
And how our poor old bones do creak!
