JoinTogether Meeting: Movement & Exercise

Our JoinTogether Movement & Exercise Group meets online and provides adults with an opportunity to hear from knowledgeable speakers, exchange experiences, information, hints and tips.

The group is run by NRAS volunteer Gill Amos, who has RA herself.  Gill has a background in executive coaching and leadership development and as a trained dancer, has always enjoyed physical activities and exercise including walking, pilates, yoga and gym. She has experienced having to curtail and adapt physical activities due to RA but has found the benefits of continuing with adapted exercise when symptoms flare as well as enjoying the social and supportive side of classes.

If you’re interested in exploring the benefits of movement and exercise while living with IA, and would like to connect with like-minded individuals, join us for a friendly, informal meeting! Each session will feature a unique focus, covering topics such as low-impact activities, returning to sports, or engaging in high-impact exercises.

Our next meeting

Wednesday 21st May 6pm

Host: Gill Amos, NRAS volunteer

Guest: Karina Patel, an experienced running coach living with RA, to discuss the topic: “Returning to High Impact Activity”.

Karina will be talking about the different types of high impact activity including strength building, endurance/ cardio activity and body conditioning all within the framework of:

• Listening to your body
• Embracing the art of pacing – rest and recovery matter!
• Resetting expectations while striving for your best 

For anyone who would like to stay and chat,  there will be the opportunity for small group discussions afterwards.
