Virtual Club Social - Healthy muscles for cycling

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 8:00 pm	Start Location: On Zoom
Description: For our club social this week, club member and local Pilates instructor Sally Bensoussis will talk about good muscle health for cycling - including some hints and tips on warm-up, warm-down, identifying imbalances and how to improve things. She will demo a few stretching and strengthening exercises to give us some ideas to use on our own. If you’re feeling brave you could even have a go on the night! A recurring Zoom link has been sent out to club members by email. If you would like to join us but haven't received or lost the link, please get in touch with Steve by email and he will forward it. Please BYOB...

In what proved to be quite an interactive session, some of us tried to follow at least some of the exercises from our own floors. A lot of fun and informative too. It was nice to see some less regular faces again and a warm welcome to Simon and Chris.
