Strength is “the quality or state of being physically strong” and/or “the capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure”. The best way to build muscle strength is to challenge your muscles with resistance of some kind.
Endurance however is “the ability to endure an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way.” The best way to build endurance is to repeat a movement for an extended period of time.
The benefits of strength endurance are endless, starting with increased stamina, which will of course improve many areas of your life! Examples include maintaining a good posture, carrying heavy shopping, playing sports, play time with children, bedroom time ;-), and just every day activities such as household chores.
This class is suitable for people of all ages and abilities as all exercises can be adapted to suit different levels. You will need either resistance bands or dumbbells for this session.
Each class is priced at £8.

Is Stretching Really Necessary?
Stretching is often overlooked as an important part of a healthy lifestyle but a lot of general aches and pains are caused by muscle tightness which cause imbalances in the body.
Tight muscles can wreak havoc and are the one of the main culprits behind back pains and bad posture.
Whether you want to improve your body for everyday activity or you’re an experienced exerciser, flexibility and muscle balance is a vital component that can help reduce the likelihood of injury.
Whatever your health and fitness goals are, having a body that is free from muscle imbalances and able to move properly is fundamental to overall wellbeing.
