Walking Well
Walking is an important part of daily life. Starting next week is a 3 week workshop which will look at the way we walk and how we can help reduce the wear and tear on our joints and tissues.
You will learn:
- correct body alignment
- simple exercises to reduce the pressure on the knees and feet
- how to walk uphill and downhill to reduce wear and tear on the knees
There will be three sessions. The third will include an outside practical session (if weather permits) to put our new skills into practice.
Dates: There is a choice of daytime or evening sessions.
DAY: 1.30 - 2.25 pm Friday 13th, 20th and 27th September
or
EVENING: 7.15 - 8.25 pm Thursday 12th, 19th and 26th September
Venue: Kilbirnie Pool Group Fitness room

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
