My exercise class had been closed for the last two weeks, due to school holidays. I have really missed them. I am 78 years old, and due to

osteoporosis, I go to Sit and be Fit (sitting exercise to music). I'm sure that it would suit some of the people that find exercise too difficult. People of all ages go, some with disabilities. It's for ankles, knees, and all over body is included. Thought that this suggestion might help some of you.

Shame you haven't been able to go to your class! You could try really creating your own version at home?! Sounds like a great idea for people who are disabled of have trouble taking part in vigorous activity! Hope you class starts again soon! Best wishes! 🌸

Thank you for the info. Will tell my neighbour about it as she is finding it difficult to walk. Hope there is a class in our area. :)

I don't know if you have the same sort of classes in UK. I am here in New Zealand. My husband comes with me, and it's a nice drive to get there.

I think that the lady running the class is going to make a DVD so that we can do it at home. She made one for the pilates class .

Well done Geris, proving that age is just a number especially as you are still active and aware of the need to keep your body moving.
