🔦 Class Spotlight - Aquacise 🔦

Aquacise has all the benefits of a class workout but with the advantages of exercising in water. If you are looking for a fun way to lose weight and increase endurance, this could be the workout for you!

When you exercise in the water you are building strength and toning muscles. This is due to your movement creating resistance against the water, as you push and pull against it, activating many muscle groups. The impact of gravity is also less in the water, allowing a greater range of motion; you are more flexible than you realised!

📅 Monday at 10:05am
📅 Tuesday at 12:15pm
📅 Wednesday at 12:10pm and 7:05pm
📅 Thursday at 10:05am
📅 Friday at 10:05am

Relax... it's stress awareness day. 🧘

Stress is a significant factor when it comes to our overall health and wellbeing, and managing your stress is equallty important as taking care of your physical health.

Here's our quick tips on managing stress in your daily life.

✅ Talk to someone - if you feel like stress is starting to take over, reach out - help is available.
✅ Move your body - physical activity can help your body manage stress by preparing it to handle stress hormones.
✅ Break it down - divide large tasks into smaller, more manageable steps to make them feel less overwhelming.
✅ Remember to breathe - when you're in a hot moment, try some controlled breathing. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8, repeating the cycle to calm your nervous system.
✅ Take the time to write down your thoughts before bed. This can help to get things off your mind for the moment, preventing rumination interrupting sleep.

For further advice, visit the Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health page on the Lincolnshire County Council website.

Remember, stress won't dissapear overnight - small changes everyday will add up to a big difference overall.
