Jo has always exercised in one way or another and loves the opportunity to try
something new. During this past year and through lock down, she has used online exercise classes and has
really made the most of "Ollie’s online virtual classes", to keep active and
remain connected during lock down. The classes were a real tonic physically and
mentally to cope with the day to day routine. Luckily, a lot of her classes are
now face to face, but it is still very handy to do a quick class after work to
get the steps up and have a nice stretch on a Friday with "Steph’s yoga class".
Jo said after
a lot of procrastination, she joined the Health & Hustle couch to
30-minute running group, and is so pleased she has committed to the group. Jo also added that a group from the Nursing & Quality team at the Clinical Commissioning Group, decided to join for moral support and 7
weeks in are still fully engaged and making real progress. Jo says, Kevin is
incredibly supportive, and he has a fabulous way of making all members feel
included, nobody is ever last… that is Kev’s place, cajoling and encouraging
even the most reluctant runner!
As
a group we have become so close and the care and kindness shown is quite
amazing, all masterminded and led by Kev who is an inspiration in his own
right! I feel very fortunate that both these amazing opportunities are
open to me. All I have to do is turn up, no
judgement, just care, kindness and incredible encouragement to keep well and
keep fit, oh and a lot of giggles and few good surprises on the routes!
