Let's get physical

The Institute of Sport and Exercise is encouraging children to get active, with an ongoing programme of sports sessions throughout the year and during the school holidays.

Children's Programme Coordinator Hazel Ednie is encouraging children to come along to the next holiday sessions. She says, "The Children's Easter Programme is the perfect antidote to the seasonal Easter deluge of eggs and all things chocolate."

The courses will include: Funfit Club, Junior Sports, trampoline coaching, street dance, Playfit and NRG Max. Running from 4 - 15 April, the courses cater for children between the ages of 3 and 16.

Applications for children’s courses are available from the Institute of Sport and Exercise from 18 February. For more details contact: Hazel on 345177 or at h.c.ednie@dundee.ac.uk

The children's classes are just one part of the ISE's programme. Hazel says, "If you had increasing your exercise quota on your list of New Year's resolutions, or even if you're just interested in coming along to see what's on offer, we have a wide range of classes and facilities for all abilities."

University solicitor Stewart Brymer is enthusiastic about the classes for adults at the ISE. He says, "One of the main attractions of the Institute is the quality of the instructors and the genuine team spirit that is obvious from the very first time you join a class.

"Everyone is made to feel very welcome, and above all, exercise becomes fun. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Come along and see for yourself. If a middle-aged solicitor can do it surely you can!
