12th April 2023 - 12:10pm - Wednesday - Our Tuesday Exercise is Growing

One of our longer lasting ventures has been our weekly Tuesday exercise session, kindly hosted by Better Gym and Highbury Leisure Centre, and we are very grateful for their continuing support.

We head in at 9:30am to be lead by our wonderful PT Zombie (Dean) who puts us through our paces.

It's definitely a diverse group - aged from 30 to 88. We make sure it is accessible to all of them, offering different ways to do exercises and making sure everyone feels comfortable. But they are also such an inspiring group.

It is an hour. We do have a laugh too, but we work hard, sweat a bit, and at the end everyone feels great. Some of us then head over to Lazza's "office" - the White Swan Wetherspoon at Highbury Junction - for a coffee and chat. I really like that part.

We are getting more and more referrals. The NHS may not want to give us a penny towards our costs, but they are very happy to refer people to our service!!!

22nd March - 12:10pm - Wednesday: Outings to organise

One of the best things that we do is arrange outings and trips to various different places. It is a highlight for me as not only do I get to visit some fantastic venues and experiences but I also have ten to twenty friends to talk to about it too. We have had some terrific afternoons so far at: Science Museum Natural History Museum Victoria and Albert Museum National Gallery Museum of London Docklands Museum Imperial War Museum English National Opera London Coliseum Theatres London Zoo Sky Garden Experience Islington Museum - that is the one for the photo above And more. It's been amazing. Really really, cool. The best thing is bringing people together from our different sessions - we have a course we do with organisations and projects, we have free exercise sessions, our amazing walks. These social events are precious. I have to arrange two for April 2023. We are already taking ten people to a comedy night on the 29th at the Pleasance Th...

5th April 2023 - 3:15pm - Wednesday - New Monthly Health Pack for April is published

We published our latest Monthly Health Pack this week - for April 2023 - a massive 40 pages. Yes, it takes a lot of hours and research, but I think it is a fabulous way to reach people and get our message across about trying to be healthy, as well as we all have a responsibility to look after our amazing bodies. April issue is jam packed full of info, news, photos, games, and more. We have PDFs of all our packs on our website, and they can be downloaded from there. www.hmhb2016.org.uk The packs have been going for three years - ever since the first lockdown in 2020. Wow, is it really that long ago? We did 50 weekly issues, half of them being 26 pages. We then moved to 36 page monthly, and that has increased to 40 pages - which we feel is just about the maximum we can achieve. Do check them out. We focus on Mind-set, Nutrition, Exercise, and Health - but also include fun, quizzes, news, recipes, and other stuff.

Welcome to HMHB's new Blog - all about us and what we are doing

I will confess that the previous blog had not had an entry for around a year and a half. Not because I did not want to, but I got out of the habit and then it just ran away from me. It was www.hmhb2016.blogspot.com So that is still available to look at for back history. However, I have been determined to start a new blog since the start of 2023 (you can see how long it has taken to get around to actually doing it!!!). So here we are. This blog is going to be talking about what I did that day (or the day before, depending on when I type the entry into it). I am not going to bother going into too much history here - you can see that on our website on our "About" page: www.hmhb2016.org.uk Do sign up for our blog to see how we are progressing. 2023 is going to be a busy year for Healthy Minds, Healthy Bods, and it would be terrific to have people following us, supporting us, and that gives us encouragement and focus.
