HELLO DEAr,Hopefully youre keeping well and enjoying your me here at the grand old

University of Glasgow. Alas with the nights seng in, the chill creeping round

and wee snivels simpering up to the back of lecture theatres, summer is all

away. I know how it is when deadlines and exams loom out of nowhere- youve

got no me- barnies start about how cold the ats allowed to be at nightand food turns from a relaxing break into just fuel for the machine.

Id just like you to know, if things are geng on top of you, theres a whole load of

acvies and support available right here at the University. So to turn any winter

frowns around and help ease any worries theres a rosy ve day health week of

acvies to help you keep healthy and happy in these new cold climbs. Get a massage

or take a laughter class and feel good, because youre a dear, really, you are.

Love,

Granny Health Week x

STrETcH 2HArmONyUp at the gym the youngsters run lots of

tness workshops and sports classes and

training things week in, week out. For

Health Week, all of them will be free of

charge to give everyone a chance to see

how good they are. Stretch 2 Harmony is

one of the classes that takes place weekly

up there. The class improves exibility,posture and core stability - which sounds

especially useful for grannies. In just under

an hour the range of postures and exer-

cises should leave you feeling relaxed and

refreshed. It sounds excellent doesnt it?

If bubble baths and biscuits arent doing

the trick, this could be just the cket to get

you back to feeling just as brilliant as you

deserve to feel.Monday, 1310 - 1350

UrbAN WOrKOUTTheres a select group of people who think

park benches were just made to be sat on.

The sporty folk who organise this outdoor

urban workout are not part of that group.

Apparently benches can be use for a whole

range of exercises. This outdoor session

looks to turns the humdrum features of

our dear green city into an outdoor gym

full of possibilies with which to improve

your tness. It all sounds very excing,

and the man we chaed to described the

proceedings as intense. The session is

weather dependant so dont shoogle up if

its dreich outside.
