I've been looking for a gentle exercise and balance class... criky you'd think there'd be one here in my own town, but no.
My friend in New Zealand goes to one, organised by Age Concern, so I thought, yea!! Why didn't I think of that, their purpose is to care for the elderly, so they must run classes for older people. Well of course they don't, nor did the person who spoke to me on the phone know of any, but she said she'd make enquiries.
There are groups, but they are all jig/ dance around groups, tai chi or yoga.. so not for me. So I asked on Basil-end's FB pages, loads of answers and very suitable for me.
So I phoned one highly recommended, but of course the one she does in Laleston on Tuesday mornings is full, but I was welcome to go to the Friday group.. we could do it if we left SW slightly early, so I'm going to give it a go!
Next week she suggested, I don't have any jogging bottoms and my trainers squeeze my bad toe, so I shall have to see how I get on! I want to do it, but I'm nervous.. so I've given myself a talking to, so I have to pull up my big girl pants and go for it!

Good for you!
Yes go for it!
... although perhaps take it slowly to start with.
All the best Jan
Good for you for getting out of your comfort zone. I'm sure you will do fine. Everyone was a beginner at one time.
You can find Steady As You Go (NZ Age Concern Balance Classes) on YouTube if you’d like to do them at home. For example

Good luck with the exercise class. I hope it is just what you were looking for. Just do what you feel comfortable doing and as Jan says 'take things slowly to start with'.
