Just a little reminder the introduction to weights session is on Wednesday at 10.30am. Don't forget your weights

Join us at The Sanctuary for an Introduction to Light Weights

The dates for these sessions are

Wednesday November 19th - 10.30am

Introduction to Weights

It is never too late to start lifting light weights and seeing the benefits.

I am going to be running two sessions looking at how to incorporate light weights into your wellbeing regime. There is a lot of research evaluating and confirming how important strength work is for the health and longevity of the body and mind and I believe it is never too late to start and actually see and experience the benefits.

What are the benefits

Physically

Improve mind muscle activation
Build muscle
Increase bone density
Helps to take the weight and impact from your joints
Maintains movement and mobility for later years.

Mentally

Boosts mood - helping anxiety and depression
Improves sleep
Balances hormones - can help brain fog, focus, motivation and inertia
Increases confidence and self esteem

In our sessions I will guide you through a beginners upper body routine and show you some exercises to incorporate for a whole body tone.

There is no charge for these sessions but if you feel you would like to donate then a £5 donation to my charity of choice this year - mental health foundation
