Seniors Walking Program Set to Spring into
Action
Active Together Melton’s new spring/summer
seniors walking program will start at the end of March. The
sessions, which have proved very popular in the past, are a great
way to keep fit and meet new people.
There are two types of walk, each indicated by
heart levels. The one heart level walks average between 30 minutes
to one hour on good surfaces and fairly flat routes with no stiles.
These walks always take place at Melton Country Park and are
suitable for newcomers to walking.
The two heart level walks last for up to 90
minutes and cover a variety of paths, which maybe uphill and over
stiles. The group meets at Egerton Park at 1.30pm every Thursday to
travel to their destination. Paths may be uneven or muddy in
places, so appropriate footwear should be worn. Both walks have
front and back leaders so all walkers can find their own pace.

Aqua Tai Chi
Aqua Tai Chi is a brand new activity for Melton. It is a blend
of the benefits of water fitness and the graceful fluid movements
of Tai Chi. Aqua Tai Chi helps improve muscular strength,
flexibility, balance, co-ordination and posture. On a psychological
level, benefits include increased energy, focus and relaxation.
The classes are particularly suitable for
seniors and pregnant women due to the slower, relaxing nature of
the session. The water helps to aid buoyancy, thus reducing
pressure on the joints.
The Active Together Team in Melton Borough
Council, part of Active Melton and Leicester-shire and Rutland
Sport, are starting classes on Wednesday 23rd November,
11:15-12:15 in Waterfields Leisure Pool. The sessions will run for
10 weeks and only cost £3.85 per session.
Advanced booking is advised, as the classes are
expected to fill up quickly.

old school and new school tracks. Improve your technique, style and
confidence and gain performance experience. No previous dance
experience necessary just energy and passion for dance. Only £3 per

Spicer Hall, Park Lane, Melton Mowbray, LE13 0PT on Thursday at the

Loughborough Half Marathon
SO ARE YOU UP FOR A CHALLENGE – WE NEED

LWA – Living Without Abuse is
organising the Loughborough Half 13 mile race in
Loughborough. The race will start and finish in the Market
Place in the historic town of Loughborough, before making its way

the urbanisation of the town, the vitality of the University and
finally the outstanding beauty of the local peaceful
countryside.

Well now is your chance to give it a go, minus the freezing

mixed teams as well.

challenge! Then the East Midlands CiCLE Challenge is for you. Take
the 100k or the180k route and Experience the roads that the
International CiCLE Classic riders take in April each
year. See some of the most beautiful Leicestershire
countryside while testing your speed and stamina. The route is
fully signed and Marshalled with food and water stations on route.
We also have a support team with a cycle doctor for any mishaps
that may occur on route with your cycles.
If you would prefer to not
have to traverse the 'worst off road' sections it is now possible
to take alternative on road routes around these sections which will
not involve any unnecessary delays. We appreciate that riding
over very 'off road' terrain on carbon and similar bikes is not to
everyone's liking, so in our wish for all riders
to enjoy the unique course that we have to offer, the on road
sections have been added. The courses will therefore test
all participants to the full. So if you require a challenge and a
fantastic ride enter now by logging
onto www.eastmidlandsciclechallenge.co.uk. And enter

day but it also raises money for our Local Rotary Charity fund,

Boot Camp
Lead a running class for Save the
Children
Save the Children is recruiting a
team of leaders to set-up running classes across the UK. This
is your chance to give 45 minutes each week for a great
cause, whilst developing your fitness, experience
and contacts.
"Born to Run" class leaders can be
newcomers, or experienced coaches or fitness professionals. For
leaders without previous coaching experience, Save the Children is
offering subsidies for the "Leadership in Running Fitness" course,
in return for your raising funds.
How does it work?
The 45 minute outdoor classes are
based on an innovative formula designed by fitness expert Peta Bee,
author of London 2012 book "Get Fit for the Games". Classes can
take place at any outdoor venue, such as a park, athletics track,
football pitch or even the beach. Save the Children will support
you with publicity and comprehensive public liability insurance,
and link you up with Run England and your local parkrun
if appropriate.
Making money
Leaders collect a £2 donation per
session from each participant to raise valuable funds to help save
children’s lives. Or if you’re looking to earn a small income you
could charge an extra pound per participant for yourself. So
if 20 people joined your weekly class, you’d earn £20 for yourself
and the charity would benefit by £40.
The cause
Born to Run is part of Save
the Children's most ambitious ever campaign – No Child Born to Die
– supported by ambassadors such as Samantha Cameron, Natasha
Kaplinsky and Simon Cowell, and sporting stars including Jo Pavey
and Haile Gebrselassie.
In the world's poorest countries,
millions of children are dying. Illnesses such as diarrhoea and
pneumonia - dealt with easily at home - are allowed to claim 8
million lives every year. We need to raise awareness, raise money
and influence governments to end this tragedy, once and for all.
Running is a universal, fun activity that will help us do just
that.
