Back in the saddle….

hi - just returning after 5 years away and wanting to kickstart my fitness and make sure I retain it as I get older. I’ve been doing yoga for a year so had lulled myself into a false sense of security thinking I was pretty supple and fit … but I was wrong! Started week 1 again on Saturday and was shocked to find out how hard it was and how many new muscles I was using! Sore today still but determined to keep going….

Well done for starting again! At least if you've done it before you'll know it gets easier!!

🍏😊Welcome back! Yoga will support your running so you are off to a good start. Run slowly to avoid injury and to breathe well. Here is a link to FAQ about the program which you may find helpful this time around. Please let us know how you get on! Enjoy!

Welcome back... Annieapple has given you a starting link and if you head across to the Strength and flex Forum...there are loads of exercise there to help with that soreness!

You need to comeback very gently and make sure that those bits if you that have had an easier time over the years start to wake up gently.

Catch Up Corner has some great advice for your feet this week! I shall be putting other posts up too, to help with the aches and pains!
