Week three of the IOH Fit Club


Yesterday was the start of week 3 in our IOH Fit Club. Stan Blair, the head trainer, had been away on an Inspa Retreat for a week in Ibiza, but he returned in time for the session yesterday. We started, as with each Saturday morning, with some healthy smoothies (this weeks strawberry and banana being particuarly popular!), then Amanda gave a talk on healthy eating habits such as the importance of breakfast, eating small regular meals and healthy snacks. The Fit Club members asked questions relating to their own eating habits and there was a good response to the talk. We then took the group outside to the tennis / volleyball area where we met Stan for the exercise session. This involved a fun warm up, with a game of 'get the tennis ball from out of the other person's trousers'. You had to be there to see it! We then did a group circuit session, with about 8 work stations, to build and develop muscle. The Fit Club is proving a great success and already some members have asked when the next one will be starting! We have big plans for developing the IOH Fit Clubs along the coast, so keep checking back for progress!
