A brand new activity!
A fun new way to get moving at Link Thursdays
We are so excited to announce a brand new activity at Link Thursdays: Fit for Life, a weekly movement class that's already proving to be a firm favourite!
Led by Karen, a qualified physiotherapist, Fit for Life takes place every Thursday from 11:45am – 12:30pm as part of our Link Thursdays community café. The class is open to absolutely anyone, costs just £3, and includes a light lunch… what's not to love?! 😃
Having a physiotherapist at the helm makes all the difference. Karen brings expert knowledge of how the body moves, which means the class is safe, thoughtful, and tailored to help everyone.
But don't be fooled into thinking this is a serious workout! The whole idea behind Fit for Life is to have fun and get moving without even realising you're exercising. Each 40-minute session features a blend of seated, supported, and gentle movement exercises, thoughtfully adapted to suit all mobility levels.
As Dr. Kenneth Cooper once said, "We do not stop exercising because we grow old. We grow old because we stop exercising." Keeping our bodies moving, in whatever way works for us, is one of the most important things we can do for our health and happiness.
About Link Thursdays
Fit for Life is just one of the wonderful things you'll find at Link Thursdays, our award-winning weekly community space and café, open every Thursday from 10am – 1pm at All Saints Church.
Hosted by The Link Visiting Scheme, Link Thursdays is a vibrant, welcoming space where anyone in the community can just turn up, with a guarantee of a warm welcome. Whether you fancy a hot drink and a freshly baked cake, a game of dominoes, a spot of knitting, or simply a friendly chat, there's always something going on. We're proud to be a dementia-friendly space, with friendship tables and a range of activities throughout the morning.
Volunteers Sue and Jo, who are part of the Link Thursdays family, sum it up beautifully:
"It's become a family. People soon settle in, and the family continues to grow. It's a privilege to be part of such a wonderful organisation, and I enjoy every minute of it. It's amazing to see people's faces light up when they come in on Thursday and see a friendly group of people. It's so uplifting for everyone!"
