What sort of improvement should I expect?
This will largely depend upon how much effort you put into maintaining your exercise programme. People who have enrolled onto our activities have already shown improvements such as reduced blood pressure, weight loss and improved flexibility. However, just as important are the psychological benefits, such as “I feel better in myself” or “I don’t get so tired anymore”.
Do I have to wear special clothes or shoes?
NO simply wear whatever you feel comfortable exercising in. It is advisable to wear clothes in layers so that you can peel them off when you get warmer. Footwear should have a soft, flat sole.
