IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT VO2 MAX IS A GOOD PREDICTOR OF LONGEVITY AND HEALTH SPAN AND SO WE ARE OFFERING A WAY TO ESTIMATE YOUR VO2 MAX BASED ON WALKING.

IT IS CALLED THE ROCKPORT TEST.

YOU WILL WARM UP FOR A BIT AND THEN THE TEST WILL BEGIN.

IT IS SIMPLY WALK 4 TIMES ROUND THE 400m TRACK AND THEN MEASURE YOUR PULSE AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE FINISH LINE.

I WILL NEED YOIUR WEIGHT IN KG AND AGE AND AFTERWARDS I WILL DO THE CALCULATIONS AND OFFER YOU FEEDBACK.

EVERYONE CAN TAKE PART AS LONG AS YOU CAN WALK SAFELY.

In this session we work on helping you to get strong legs, upper body strength, ankle strength, hip stability, balaance, agility all whilst having a great laugh.

You will be working hard but at appropriate level for your ability.

Everyone is supportive and youwill be made very welcome.
