Health Matters: Protect, Prevent; Live Well Eye myths: what does and doesn’t affect your vision The start of the school year is a good time to remind ourselves to take care of one of our most important senses – our eyes. The continued bright light and the return to routine and homework is a timely reminder to take the time to look after your vision. Should you avoid rubbing your eyes? Yes, in rare cases it can damage your vision. For most people, an occasional gentle rub is nothing to worry about, but if you rub your eyes too hard, too often or over a long period of time, you could get into trouble, as rubbing causes our eye pressure to spike. For most of us, our eye pressure returns to normal when we stop rubbing and the temporary blip does no obvious long-term damage. But for those with certain eye conditions, an increase in eye pressure caused by hard, frequent or prolonged rubbing could be more serious. Does reading in dim light damage your eyes? Not likely, but reading too much in general can affect your sight. We’ve all been there – so engrossed in a good book you don’t want to stop reading, despite poor light. However, this is unlikely to permanently damage your eyes although you’ll probably find it more comfortable to read in good light. The most likely outcome is temporary “eye strain” – a discomfort we attribute to our eyes, but which has no known physiological cause. It may just be that the muscles around he eye and eye area are fatigued. Any eye strain should disappear within a day or so (at most). Do your sunnies need to have an SPF? Yes, it’s important to have sunglasses that protect your eyes from damaging ultraviolet radiation. Like your skin, your eyes are susceptible to both short term and long term effects of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The most common short-term impact of UV exposure to the eye is acute photo keratopathy, which is like sunburn of the cornea and can cause inflammation. Long-term exposure to
UV radiation can result in more serious damage to the eyes, including squamous cell cancers on the surface of the eye and skin cancer around the eyes. It can also cause cataracts, damage to the retina and climatic droplet keratopathy (cloudiness of the cornea). Do kids need to wear sunglasses? Yes, children also need to protect their eyes from sun damage. Wearing sunglasses as a youngster can help protect against the most common eye conditions that develop later in life. A lot of our sun exposure happens when we are children, when we spend a lot of time outdoors in direct sunlight. Can looking at a computer screen affect your eyesight? Yes, looking at a computer screen a lot may increase your risk of short-sightedness. You increase your risk of becoming slightly more short-sighted – where your eyes focus well only on close objects while more distant objects appear blurred. This is especially the case for children and young adults, whose eyes are still developing. However, it’s worth noting that doing any close-up work – including reading – will have the same effect on your eyes. Do glasses weaken your eyes? No, your glasses won’t weaken your eyes. Struggling to focus on printed matter is an unfortunate sign of ageing. Changes to the lens of the eye as you get older mean you have to move the page further and further away before you can see properly. It’s called presbyopia and it strikes us all, usually by our mid 40s. What your specs have done is got you used to seeing more clearly. So when you take them off, the contrasting blurriness is more noticeable. If you have any concerns about your eyesight, please see your doctor or your optometrist for a checkup. And remember….
And remember…. Protect, Prevent, Live Well

Class Description Gut and Butt blast is a target class that focuses on strengthening and toning the nine core divisions of the abdominal plane. While simultaneously blasting the three muscles of the buttocks, hamstrings and quadriceps. This will increase fat metabolism at rest and help slim and tone those problematic areas. Although not targeted, general whole body conditioning applies and while challenging, is more than suitable for any fitness level. Workout Of the Day (WOD) This is a board based program, working along the principles of H.I.I.T where you are able to come in and complete the workout in your own time. What is H.I.I.T? High-intensity interval training is a training technique, which commands full effort through quick, intense bursts of exercise followed by active recovery periods. This form of exercise uses power and cardio, keeping the heart rate high and metabolizing fat at the same time. Open Gym This is your opportunity to use the Gym facilities, there will be a basic weights program and WOD on offer for your utilisation, or you could just be creative and do your own training. Lets Lift This program has been designed to target the eight large muscle groups in a 45 minute whole body workout. This is achieved through the use of barbell and Dumbbell weights. This class is suitable for every fitness level. Mad GRIT This is a 30min program incorporating core, strength and cardio based exercise, ideal for total fitness development.
THUMP Boxing Is a moderate to high intensity cardio boxing class. This class is specifically effective in defining the body’s musculature, while improving balance, flexibility, and coordination. The cardio component uses the body’s energy systems and improves your ability to use oxygen, helping you to work harder for longer and burn fat in the process.
