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: Have you kept trinkets from your life?
Many of us are sentimental about our childhoods and lives, and some even collect things to remember moments or people.
Share what you've held on to over the years and whether you still have it today. Feel free to share photos too, we'd love to see.
