Over-60s fitness instructor Anne Panesar has resumed her community exercise classes at Wellington Rugby Club.

She says those who go along to her class on Friday at 1.30pm have relished the chance to get fitter after the closure of adult indoor exercise classes during lockdown.

Anne said: “We are working in particular at improving bone and muscle strength, flexibility, balance and aerobic capacity – all this improves our immune system and our confidence, too.

“All required Covid-19 health and safety measures are being followed including arriving to class wearing a mask and keeping windows and doors open to ensure adequate ventilation which lowers the risk of Covid transmission.”

Anne says she will be starting a second class in Wellington on Tuesday, June 22, also at the Rugby Club.
