October KKC was a 1 hour beginner's Pilates session.  The instructor, Samantha King, started practicing Pilates after she was diagnosed with Scoliosis and told she needed an operation to improve the 2 curvatures in her spine.   Pilates helped her so that she didn't need surgery anymore.  She then decided that she wanted to help others reach their goals so she studied at ETA Sports College and then opened her own studio at home.  You can read her story on www.pfit.co.za

We started the session with a warm-up of stretching down towards our toes, followed by several unflattering poses and then we exercised using special equipment designed to improve our physical strength, flexibility and posture (eg. arm weights adn stretch bands).  The session ended with cool-down stretches.

Pilates is a wonderful way to strengthen and improve problem areas you might have.  It has definitely helped me with my lower back and hip problems.  It's for both men and women and will leave you feeling fitter and more agile.

Afterwards the ladies went to Barista Boys for lunch at the Edgemenad Village Shopping Centre.

For our September 2017 KKC, 7 ladies went to the holiday house in Struisbaai (Thanks Linda).  It was also a farewell for Janine, who is leaving us for an adventure in Canada.  Kerry, Janine, Amber and Nadine were swashed into Janine's car with her luggage for her UK trip, (Fetched from Stellenbosch offices).  While Linda, Ana-Rita and Carol travelled together and stopped at Dassiesfontein along the way for lunch.  The weekend started with much needed rain (and looking for a fuse box outside).  We ate, we drank and we chatted.  It was so relaxing.  Thanks for the chocolates provided again too.  Saturday morning after a pancake (thank you Amber) and croissant breakfast we travelled to L'Agulhus to see the point where the two oceans meet.  We took lots and lots of photos of everything.  Even an impromptu photo shoot with Kerry and Linda and then off we went to the lighthouse.  The brave souls who climbed to the top, had a beautiful view of the surroundings.  We visited the shops and bought lots of souvenirs then back to Struisbaai for lunch in a little place on the beach.  Janine managed to chat up some young guys from Worcester in the process.  Then a leisurely walk back to the house.  Supper was leftovers and we even enjoyed a board game.  The next morning Janine, Kerry and Amber left early (crack of dawn early) to drop Janine at the airport and the rest of us enjoy a slow meander back to Cape Town stopping at Dassiesfontein on the way for lunch.  Thank you everyone for an amazing and relaxing weekend.  Kit-Kats are on their way (watch this space).
Thank you too to Carol for our beautiful slippers with our names on them.
