Hello Polly, once again you were my company on a sleepless night. I finally managed to take a full class. I have been getting worse very quickly. Generalized pain keeps me away from physical exercise more and more and I enter a vicious cycle. I'm going to try to be stronger and take more classes, I don't want my body to deform so quickly!!! I can't give up now and PFP can help me! Let's go!!! Thanks Polly! Thank you PFP 🌷 Big hug

Hi there Dulce!! We are so sorry to hear that you have been struggling recently. Please know that we are cheering you on and hope that you have been able to do some more PFP classes - perhaps you could try some of our shorter ones as you build up your strength. We hope that your pain is also a bit more manageable. Sending you big hugs Dulce!!

Hi Polly. Great session. Love the Bingo and penguin bit. The arm sings and the down-up bend-straighten exercise was tricky but I am sure it is good for the brain. Many thanks as usual. Paula and Jon

Hey Polly and everyone at PfP - A thoroughly enjoyable workout today - got my heart rate up and I especially enjoyed the variety of the exercises too..... feeling very energised now. I initially sat for the start of class as I was struggling with my mobility….. I think I had eaten too much protein around taking my meds (that’ll teach me), but then towards the end of class, I had really loosened up and was able to stand without issue, so continued standing for the remainder - just goes to show how much your workouts help and how important it is move around and try and stay as active as you can 😊 I loved the arm swing exercises with the down, bend, up element - I really had to focus when doing these, but I did manage to do them after a few goes, yay. It was also nice to see the bingo and penguin routine again - especially as I’ve been told I do occasionally walk a bit like a penguin when I’m out and about haha Missed seeing Cooper today so please give him a big hug from me and hope you all have a great weekend/week. Thank you Polly, Amanda

Hi there Amanda!! So great to read all about how you experienced this class!! How wonderful to hear that you were able to stand towards the end of the class!! That must be so motivating and encouraging to continue to workout. We will indeed give Cooper a hug from you and are so glad that you enjoyed some of the Polly classics bingo and "walk like a penguin"!!

Thanx Polly. Very good cognitive session. Excellent compliment to gym work out where focus is on other faculties. Actually harder than one would expect. But beneficial. Would like more standing exercises. Two minutes near the end were a bit of a tease, at least for me. Also you showed us kangaroos and penguins. Where was Cooper today? Summer vacation?Alas!
