Join us for a lovely spring hike in Manternach on Sunday, 20 May!

Manternacher Fiels became a nature reserve in 2000. The similarly named 6km circuit goes along the River Syre, through forests, orchards and old "forgotten" terraced vineyards, passing old mills and an aqueduct. This is the flowering time for wild orchids, such as "Orchis purpurea" and "Orchis mascula". The path includes the "honnert Traapen" – up 100 stairs – culminating with a view of the "Manternacher Fiels".

Your friends are welcome to join us on this walk. It will take approximately 2 hours (Maria did it last year and took some photos). Please wear good walking boots and bring a snack and a drink.

Meeting point: Train station in Manternach at 10:30 on Sunday 20 May. (09:48 train from Luxembourg to Manternach, direction Wasserbillig). There are hourly return trains to Luxembourg. Please note that there are works on this line and the train may not call at all the intermediate stations. If you would like any further information, please contact Maria.

Core

Core is a functional training focused on body stability, strength, balance and agility.

No apparatuses are used and the exercises are done on the floor or standing up, with the body used as a weight.

The class is aimed at those who have begun to train and wish to supplement it with more specific exercises for the back, stomach, body strength and stability. Therefore, Core combines well with barbell, jogging and the like.

You should wear good sports shoes and bring your own mat to this class.

Core is on Tuesdays at 19:00 in the Ecole Française.

Barbell Interval - for members aged 15+

Barbell Interval (previously called Barbell Pulse), is a combination of efficient strength training and tough cardio. If you like sporty and straightforward exercise, then Barbell Interval is for you. The exercises are simple and efficient. You follow clear instructions to cool music, using a barbell, weights and a step to work out. You adapt the weights yourself and can use anything from just the weight of the bar or add a number of extra kilos. The Barbell class will give you strength and endurance and is great for your legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms. At the end of the class, 15 minutes of cardio training is added in interval form. The fitness exercises are simple but you can make them quite strenuous. But don't worry, it's 75 minutes of sweat, fun and good music!

The Barbell Interval classes are open to all members aged 15 and over. The places in this class are limited so if you want to be sure of a place, please book your spot by sending Åsa an email by 4pm on the day. Please be there 10 minutes before the class starts; if not, your spot may be given to someone from the waiting list.

Barbell Interval takes place on Tuesdays at 19:30 in the Bâtiment Bleu.

Junior - for children aged 7–12 years

Junior is an action-filled and varied class for children aged 7-12 years.

The aim of the session is to make children jump, run, exercise and have fun to good music. The children concentrate on basic physical skills (such as strength, balance, posture, bending, stretching, turning) and also the cardiovascular system. All this is achieved through fun exercises! The structure of the session follows young people's way of switching between going at full speed and resting.

Children should wear good training shoes and bring enough water to drink during the session.

The Junior class is on Mondays at 18:00 in the Ecole Française.

Yoga 2

Yoga 2 is a more challenging and dynamic progression of Yoga 1 (and Yoga Lunch). The Yoga 2 exercises have a continuous flow and there is more time to “deepen into” the asanas (positions) from Yoga 1. Yoga 2 builds upon classical yoga and focuses on breathing, movements, relaxation and getting in harmony with your body, while training your flexibility, strength and balance. Please wear loose fitting long-sleeved shirts and trousers for this class. During the class you are barefoot, but you may prefer to wear some socks and an extra sweater for the relaxation exercises. You should also bring your own mat to the 75 minute class.

Yoga 2 takes place on Mondays at 20:00 in Mühlenbach.

Dance Fuego

Do you like Latin rhythms? Then come and try Dance Fuego! As the name suggests, Dance Fuego is a hot hot hot session, with lots of passion, attitude and character!

Inspired by Latin music, Latin rhythms and dance forms, Dance Fuego is playful, free and requires no precision. Just copy, let yourself go and enjoy! The styles can be salsa, merengue, mambo, rumba, flamenco, cumbia, samba, reggaeton, etc. Fit or not, everyone can join in and make the class their own. Just like on the dance floor.

For this hour long class, the only thing you need is a pair of good shoes and a smile! No need to bring a partner = no need to worry about stepping on anyone's toes. Just come as you are and have fun!

Dance Fuego is on Sundays at 11:30 in the Ecole Française.

Friskis&Svettis are recruiting hosts..

Hosts play a very important role at Friskis&Svettis. They welcome people attending the classes, answer questions about F&S, help the instructors by switching the music on and off and generally ensure that everything runs smoothly during the class.

F&S are now looking for more people who are prepared to volunteer a little bit of their time. Potential hosts will shadow others hosts before looking after a class on their own. There are also opportunities to receive some training and to take part in social and team-building events.

A big bonus is that hosts get entry to all the classes they like for free!!

If you are interested, please contact Patricia, the Host Team Leader, with some brief details, e.g. are you already a F&S member and when you would be available to host (lunchtime, evening, weekend).
