What's New for 2024 - Part 3 Different Strokes Charity

I'm a fitness instructor for Different Strokes North London! It's a very inspirational group run by Hilary Sinclair who had a stroke 12 years ago, she's a force to reckoned with and despite her mobility and speech restrictions manages to do do two gym workouts per week plus attend a group class AND organise it all!

It was Hilary who fgot in touch and asked me to cover the gym group when the current instructor is away and from there I started teaching a group class in the Winkfield Community Centre, Wood Green every couple of months.”

I teach chair based exercises to build strength with minimal equipment for stroke survivors:

1. Upper Limb (official name for arms :) )

2. Seated Abs

3. Lower Body

4. Core

5. Flexibility

6. Coaching advise

I've also been covering their gym sessions when the regular instructor is on leave. These gym sessions are inspirational, they allow stroke survivors to do their own strength and cardio workouts twice a week! They're supervised by a qualified instructor 1pm-3pm Tuesdays and 12-1pm Thursdays at New River Sports Centre, Haringey https://new.haringey.gov.uk/leisure-parks-culture/leisure-centres/new-river-sport-fitness

If you're a stroke survivor and interested in joining any of the above sessions get in touch with Different Strokes here https://differentstrokes.co.uk
