100 lives made healthier thanks to local lockdown exercise programme 

Halo Leisure is excited to be opening their doors to their leisure centres soon to the thousands of people who’ve missed the workouts, wind downs and each other during the latest lockdown across Bridgend County. They’re also celebrating what’s been going on behind closed doors by welcoming seventy-nine year-old Carol Hopkin as the 100th participant in their award-winning Feel Good for Life programme this month, kitting her out with a free iPad (and training her to use it) so she can combat the loneliness of lockdown by staying active and connecting with new and old friends online. 

“I was feeling really isolated,” says Carol, 79. “I’d usually visit Ogmore Leisure Centre weekly for exercise sessions, but at home found myself doing very little."

Happy, healthy Easter…

We are loving the British Heart Foundation’s healthy Easter ideas (on their website at bhf.org.uk, search Easter). They’re not being party poopers when it comes to the chocolate eggs, just asking us to go easy and have some healthy fun over that special weekend with gift ideas (daffodils, a lovely card, an egg painting courtesy of the kids) instead of chocolates, egg hunts using painted hard-boiled varieties to replace sweet ones, and some fun and games and exercise with an Easter walk.

Have you still got your old skipping rope?

Did you know that humans might have been skipping for over 400 years? Historians point to medieval paintings of the 16th century where children were jumping rope on old European streets, although they also suggest skipping might have first originated in ancient China. Wherever it started, it spread through Europe and – thanks to early Dutch settlers – arrived in America (which explains the popular double rope jumping game Double Dutch).
