1st June 2023
A guest post from Kath Maguire. Kath is the parent of one of our club’s gymnasts. She asked about doing some volunteering a couple of months ago and whether there was a course she could do. Here are her reflections from the day. “I’ve been thinking about volunteering for a while now but as it’s […]

Exercising at home: Children and adults

3 new tools for you and your children to use at home

home exercising for primary school children

Thank you to all our athletes, members, parents and colleagues for showing their support in this pandemic. It is very much appreciated.

We have been working on two new systems quietly in the background for a couple of months that we are now bringing forward to help you stay healthy at home. This post explains how to find them, and also our free to view p.e. classes.

1: Willand P.E. on YouTube

We have also filmed and uploaded our new ‘Willand P.E.’ YouTube playlist in conjunction with Willand primary school, to offer p.e. lessons for their pupils and others. There will be 3 lessons each week:

  • Lesson 1: Movement
  • Lesson 2: Physical Fitness
  • Lesson 3: Skills and Games.
Week 1, lesson 1 of Willand p.e.

James’ good friend and GAIN colleague, Andy Stone, is providing classes for secondary school pupils. These will be more advanced and include physical challenges. (There is no reason why the secondary pupils can’t use the primary school lesson to help develop their fundamental movements too.)

2: ‘The Joy of Movement’ membership.

This is a project that was originally going to launch in May, but we have brought it forward in response to many people asking us for it now.

Have fun learning how to move.

An online group with 2 new exercise classes posted each month for you to do at home. Exploring fun ways to move and link them together. For the busy adult who wants a short burst of activity that is challenging and involves learning. No grind, no counting steps, no showing off on social media. Just have fun learning from the movement framework.

Sign Up here Only £15 per month.

Members get access to the private Facebook group and get the support and help from Head Coach James Marshall.

3: Online classes using TeamUp

Regular club members will be aware that we have transferred ALL our class bookings to TeamUp (All the work was done before the government shut down forced us to delete a load of classes!)

Filming videos in January

We shall shortly be running exclusive classes and tutorials on a live stream. This shall be for members only, but it club membership is only £6 a year, so you can join now.

Thanks

Thanks again to everyone who has supported the club in these difficult times. Our mission is to promote healthy activity and learning. Please share the free material, sign up to the classes and stay healthy.

Louise Helyer – Modern Pentathlete, Commonwealth Games Silver Medallist Epee
I have been working with James since September 2009, with a history of becoming injured in winter months our main goal was to over come this and help my core/hip area to become more stable thus enabling me to run at my full potential. Not only have I made it through the winter months without gaining the usual knee injuries I have also improved my performance to currently become one of the top ranked athletes.
