Visiting a library for a keep-fit class might sound a bit unusual but from Friday 1st September there is going to be a weekly class at Oundle Library, running from 10-11am.
Personal trainer, Eddie McDonald, of Embrace Fitness will be running an outdoor circuit session that includes using the fitness equipment in the library garden, which was installed in July. There are three machines: a chest press & pull-down exerciser combo, a skier, and a hand & pedal cycle.
The class is suitable for all levels of fitness because everyone is able to work to their own ability. Circuit training combines strength, endurance and cardiovascular exercise, and the equipment in the library garden will be an integral part of the workout and, more importantly, it will be fun.
Funding for the equipment was obtained by the Friends of Oundle Library through a successful grant application to the Northamptonshire Community Foundation. The library garden is open 24/7 which means this is a great new community facility for the town. The equipment is suitable for use by young teenagers (from age 14) to adults of all ages. As it is so easy to operate it can be used by complete novices as well as experienced athletes. The equipment is a permanent feature and free to use.
Come and take a look!
