Sarobics

29/03/2023

Hello!

I hope you are keeping well and keeping fit! It is now 3 years since I first caught covid and subsequently Long Covid. I am definitely less broken than I was but after all this time I know it is time to confirm that I won’t be coming back to Sarobics. I have not given up on a full recovery but it will take time and it takes lots of rest. A second round of covid knocked me back last September and made me realise it was time to admit to myself that teaching aerobics was not going to be sensible in the future.

It has been a really difficult decision to make and it has made me quite sad. I absolutely loved doing aerobics. I loved the exercise, the music and most of all I loved getting to know all of you. My life has definitely been enriched by the 15 years of taking classes. I have seen quite a few of you over the last 3 years but I would really like to have a “Closing Sarobics” cup of tea and piece of flapjack with you, so on Sunday May 21st between 2pm and 6pm I’m having an open house to invite you all for a cuppa and a chat.

I also have kit I borrowed for Super Saturdays to return and lots of other implements of torture from classes to give away. I also thought it would be nice to do a plant swap if any of you have any spares to bring along.

I hope to see as many of you as possible on the 21st but if you can’t make it please don’t be a stranger. Come round, meet me at Janes or Nortons for a cuppa. I miss you!

A challenge for you ladies. I know how much you love squats 😉

Hello lovely Sarobics ladies. Just a quick update to let you know I'm still much the same with the Long Covid and I won't be back at class any time soon. Please do remember there are loads of workouts on YouTube so if you're missing your squats you can find some on there 😊
How are you all doing? What exercise are you doing? I'd love to hear from you

Hello lovely people. With indoor classes opening up next week I thought I should write an update. I had my Long Covid Clinic appointment today and have been referred onto the ME/CFS team. There is a 3-4 month wait so in the meantime I have some fatigue management strategies to try out.
I am not yet ready to accept I will never teach aerobics again but it is not going to be anytime soon. I hope you will all find ways to keep fit and to stay in touch. I miss you all so much

Hello everyone! Finally a new video. For those of you who have stiffened up a bit during lockdown this is a whistle stop tour mobilising and strengthening all parts of your body. Feel free to pause it and do extras of any of them as you go along 😊

A bit of everything

Awesome suggestion following yesterday's video. A squats advent calendar! We missed doing 1 yesterday so start with 2 today and work up to 24 on Christmas Eve. You choose wide, narrow, toes, feet position etc. Christmas leggings optional 😊🎅

Hello everyone!

Hello lovely ladies. I wanted to post an update to let you know how I'm getting on. Many of you will have seen news articles about Long Covid and this is what I have. I have just "celebrated" my 6 month coronaversary and I am seeing improvements. The fatigue is now the most debilitating part but I am pacing myself back to health. I am still resting A LOT! I am up to 8000 steps daily and 15 squats.
Let me know how you are and how you are keeping fit. I miss you ladies!

Hello everyone 🙂
How are you doing? I'm hoping you are all finding ways to stay fit and healthy. I am still mostly resting with a bit of gentle walking and stretching thrown in. I hope you are still enjoying the youtube workouts in my permanently sunny youtube garden 😊
Hoping it won't be too long before I can add some more.....not just yet though 😃
Let me know how you're doing
