in Fitness and Exercise
Hi I live in a little village in North Yorkshire. I have decided not to join a gym this year but I am really really missing having exercise buddies, and I'm especially missing going to exercise classes, I used to do Zumba, Body Blitz and Aqua Fit every week but now there are no classes/gyms I can afford around me.
I have been doing c25k and having a run about playing catch etc with my goddaughter every now and again in the grounds of our village hall. I just really need something more.
My hous is too small to get any DVDs, I tried 30 Day Shred and didn't really get on with it.
I just want something fun to give me a good burn and keep me wanting to go back every week.
Any ideas or anyone in a similar boat?
All suggestions welcome :D

    Are there any social sports teams around where you live? One of the first things I did when I wanted to increase my exercise was to join a mixed netball team -- we play one night a week, we're all in it for the fun of the sport and the team camaraderie as opposed to actually winning our division (thank goodness haha!)

    I second the team sports!

    Roller Derby. It is awesome. And there are leagues all over the place all over the world :)

    Thank you :D
    Thats only about 30 mins from where I live and 5mins from where I work, that does sound really really fun!

    Thank you both for your responses, I have been looking for a tenis club or something like that but there doesn't seem to be anything but cricket and bowls clubs in my village and surrounding areas. There are some classes that take place in my village hall but they start 10mins before I get home from work and are aimed at older generations.

    It would be nice to meet people too, I have lived here for 2 months and not met anyone other than our neighbours. I miss socialising hehe!

    Thanks again!
