Fit Over Forty Fitness Newsletter

A happy New Year to everyone and may we go safely into 2021. Let’s all resolve to “sit less—move more and more often” to promote our health. Finding a movement activity that suits you and that you will stick with might be your resolution for 2021. It doesn’t matter what, just so it is something that you enjoy. Note the articles on Mind/Body movement – Feldenkrais is a perfect fit. It teaches you to pay attention to your body and helps you learn to move in ways that are best for you at this stage in your life. For winter 2021 ALL of my classes and personal training are now online. Do join me in the safety of your own home with the props/equipment that you have available. I hope to see you online during the winter! Stay safe and well. Best wishes to all – have a healthy 2021 Jane
