Social Activity – Barefoot Bowls – Battle of the Sexes was loads of FUN

Thanks everyone who came to the Breakfast and Bowls social activity.  Who knew there were some keen bowlers in the dancing crowd, Ken brought his new Bowls set to try out, Ray wore his lucky undies and Doreen and Jo were keen to whip some butt, before we knew it the Battle of the Sexes was on! Boys against girls, lucky for the boys we got rained out so we didn’t play bowls this time, however we sure did eat breakfast and it was delicious!  Stay tune for a rematch later in the year!

The next social is a movie night with Suzie next weekend.

Dance Tips - Kimmy
 
Ladies -
Have you ever wished for chocolate without calories - well I still haven't discovered this kind of chocolate, but what I have found is exercise without pain! Dancing is a great way to keep in shape and because it is so enjoyable 1/2 hour to 1 hours of exercise is done in a flash. My dance tip to maximise the cardiovascular value of this sport is to stay on the dance floor, ask a guy or two to dance - the more guys you dance with the better you become at following the lead and the more terrific that waste line looks!
 
Gentlemen

Dancing is also a great work out for you and can be a fantastic upper body workout - building those biceps and pecks. Remember to hold a strong posture, keep your head up and don't look at your feet (believe me, they still go where you tell them even when you're not looking). When Ray is teaching a drop or a dip listen carefully for his tips on counter balancing the lady - this helps to make sure dips and drops are safe for you and your partner and making sure you can do repetitions of the move and work those rippling muscles.

Thanks Kimmy

 

 

See you next Sunday night,

Ray, Suzie, Kimmie, Ross, Mel, Leone, Doreen, Maggie, Wayne, Diane and Ivan
