Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the JA Fitness newsletter.
I thought it was a good time to remind you of the amount of calories that can be burnt while exercising. Remember that exercise is a very personal thing. Just because a friend is jogging doesn’t mean that you have to. Exercise should be enjoyable, whether this is walking, swimming, cycling or dancing, it should be the thing that you enjoy and look forward to.

When you have finished the exercise session it is important to stretch
properly. One area of the body that is easy to forget is the top and front
of your thighs.
Kneel down on the floor then gently sit back on your heels. If you want to
make the stretch harder then place the palm of your hands behind you on the
floor and lean backwards. Do this for about 30 seconds twice a day. I will
give you a progression of this later.
