Fitness league members celebrate
Too big for my boots: Juliette Twhigg and Esther Aruch won the audience’s hearts in 2011 with their Rugby themed entry ‘Too Big for my Boots’.
The Fitness League NZ celebrated its 75th anniversary recently. More than 350 members from Auckland, Tauranga and Hamilton, as well as Silverdale and Warkworth, attended the celebration held at the Netball Centre in Mount Wellington. The Fitness League, formerly The Women’s League of Health and Beauty, was established in the UK in 1930 by Mary Bagot Stack and is now a worldwide organisation. The principles are good posture and ‘central control’ by mobilising joints and lengthening and strengthening muscles. The classes are held on Monday mornings in Silverdale and Matakana, and on Tuesday mornings in Warkworth. The teachers fuse exercise and dance together to create movement in sociable, non-competitive and energetic classes that can be enjoyed by the fit and the less fit, the able-bodied and those less able, and all ages, providing a firm foundation for lifelong exercise and fun.
