Members of the Group attend one of the sessions of exercise and relaxation held each week in our building on Whaddon Way in Bletchley. The sessions are currently on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 10.00 a.m. to midday and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 7.00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. Membership costs £150 a year.
We have a room containing a range of rowing machines, exercise bikes, treadmills, cross trainers and so on. We also offer aerobics. Each session is led by a health professional supported by fully-qualified exercise instructors and a trained team of volunteer helpers (many of whom have had heart problems themselves).
Sessions start with warm-up exercises, then move into the main period of exercise (equipment
or aerobics), followed by muscle strengthening exercises and active cool-down. Then there's a
well-earned cup of tea or coffee and a chance to chat with others who've been through a similar
experience to you. Finally there's the relaxation period which gives you important practice at
unwinding!
In addition to the weekly sessions, there's a regular programme of Sunday walks plus a series of social events throughout the year.
