To improve your health through exercise the Crosspool Forum organise weekly hour long physical activity sessions for adults of all ages

Have you never tried Easy Exercise or Tai Chi but would like to give either of them a go?

This being the beginning of a New Year is the perfect opportunity to give them a try in a friendly and relaxed environment.

Chair Based Easy Exercises are aimed at people who wish to either maintain or increase their Independence, with exercises to strengthen muscles and bones. Stronger muscles help to improve circulation balance and walking, making every day activities such as washing, dressing, shopping or doing house work easier and less of a strain.

Tai Chi is a slow physical exercise ideal for improving relaxation, balance and overall health. These sessions are great for beginners and can really help you improve your strength and balance. You don’t need any specific clothing; just wear something you’re comfortable in and non-marking footwear.

No need to book; simply come along to the Scout Hall, on Benty Lane, Crosspool

Easy Exercise Class, Tuesday mornings 10:45 -11:45

Tai Chi Class, Wednesday mornings 10:45 -11:45
