Do you have a Fitbit?

3/27/2018

I had one for my birthday....they are addictive aren't they????

I am intrigued to see how I sleep, what my resting heart rate is and my steps!!

Wow on Monday I did 25,000 steps!!!

Guess that means I am active......

I know I am active already but I think it will make me conscious of my steps on weekends and holidays etc and for less active people I think it is a fab motivator!

So have you got one??? Has it made you more active?? Has it made you focus on your sleep more?????

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on them...

Exercise as you get older

Are you, or do you know someone, who has exercised all their life and still does now into their sixties, seventies and onwards????

If you do then I bet they look and feel great!!!

I am a firm believer that keeping active as we get older is essential for so many reasons....

Maintaining a healthy weight

keeping the joints supple
increasing bone density

brain health

mood

flexibility
balance

simply being able to complete daily activities!!

I have many women right up to their eighties coming along to my older adult classes....

These classes are designed to be low impact and incorporate work on flexibility, bodyweight exercises to keep the bones strong and balance as we know these are essential as we get older...

I run my older adult classes on a Monday morning 50+ fitness and a Wednesday morning Zumba Gold.......if you want any further info on them for you or maybe someone you know please get in touch...

This morning I thought I would share with you a bit of how I got into this crazy world of teaching fitness....

I did my original fitness teaching course with the idea to do this as a second job to my main career in finance.......however things didn't pan out like that and after being made redundant in 2010 I decided to give the fitness thing a shot as a full time career...

I started out really small working in gyms and then teaching my own tiny aerobics and tone class one evening a week...

Then Zumba came along....it was massive at that time..there were Zumba classes going on in every school hall every evening.....with literally hundreds of people going to them....so in December 2010 I headed to London for the day and did my Zumba course...

January 2011 I just went for it and put on 4 Zumba classes a week....my first class I will never forget......something like 70 people showed up!!!

It was a crazy time but I will always be grateful to Zumba as it helped me get Keep fit with Kelly off the ground and now I have diversified and teach lots of other things.....it has grown massively BUT

I still have 4 Zumba classes a week on my timetable and I LOVE them.......one is Zumba Gold which is for the older participant and is a little slower.....but it is a great concept...

You don't have to be a great dancer...just be able to move and love music....

Come and give a Zumba or a Zumba Gold class a try..

Mondays 6.15pm Fairfax

Tuesdays 7.00pm Coppice
Wednesday 9.45am Zumba and 10.45am Zumba Gold Boldmere Methodist Church
