New Session – Zumba Gold

getactivebolton — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:04:11 +0000

Following feedback from our Shimmy, Shuffle & Shake event, we’re now pleased to offer a new ‘Zumba Gold’ class on a Friday 12.45-1.30pm in Farnworth. Zumba Gold takes the Zumba formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of the active older participant, as well as those just starting their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle. What stays the same are all the elements the Zumba Fitness-Party is known for: the zesty Latin music, like salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton; the exhilarating, easy-to-follow moves; and the invigorating, party-like atmosphere. Zumba Gold is the perfect fit. It’s a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun.

Starting Fri 20th April 2012, 12-45-1.30pm, weekly at Age Concern”s Learning & Resource Centre, Farnworth. For more information please click on the link: Zumba Gold

Great Manchester Cycle

getactivebolton — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:54:09 +0000

The Great Manchester Cycle will take place on Bank Holiday Monday 4 June 2012.

The multi-distance event will be the first mass participation urban bike ride taking place on completely closed roads in an otherwise bustling city centre, including a stretch of Manchester’s busiest motorway – the iconic Mancunian way.

Starting and finishing at Eastlands, the course will take you through the districts of Manchester, Trafford and Salford. The urban terrain provides access to roads normally strictly off limits to cyclists, giving you a new perspective on the iconic buildings and landscapes of Greater Manchester.

The event has three distance options, setting off in waves from 08:00 – giving you the option to Get Out and Pedal over 13 miles, Rule the Roads over 26 miles or Test Yourself over 52 miles. Suitable for all ages and abilities, the Great Manchester Cycle is brought to you by the organisers of the Bupa Great Manchester Run, so you can be guaranteed a safe and well organised event.
