YOUR BEST BODY EVER!

The human body is an incredibly complex and wonderful creation, so resolve that this year you will take good care of it!

Want to enjoy better moods, concentration, sleep and be a good weight? Then start to take better care of your body.

All those other resolutions of losing weight, giving up smoking and cutting stress levels will all be so much easier if you start by looking after the body you are doing all those things to.

Take better care of your physical health and you will be surprised how many other things just slip into place in your life.

Were you one of those people who went: ‘RIGHT! New Year’s Day, turn over a new leaf, I am going to jog/walk/lift weights/start each day with an exercise video, THIS IS IT PEOPLE!’

Chances are that by now you have probably come to a grinding halt!

Revisit that resolution and resolve to turn 2019 into your turn-around year. You got into bad shape slowly but surely over a number of years, you will stand a far better chance of succeeding in getting back into good shape slowly but surely.

The good news is that seriously good help is at hand.

Did you realise that here in Oban, Atlantis Community Leisure is one of the best places to go to in Scotland to get fit?

The way this venture has grown and developed over the past two decades is a credit to everyone involved and something all of Oban, Lorn and wider Argyll and Bute should be proud of.

It is run as a social enterprise and is a registered charity; any profits made are re-invested into the business to make continuing improvements in the centre and to train staff.

There are more than 60 fitness classes a week including Les Mills, Zumba and Pilates, giving Oban the largest selection of fitness and dance classes anywhere in the west of Scotland.

Zumba has become a firm favourite and now Atlantis has added the Les Mills range of courses to its portfolio. Les Mills was a New Zealand athlete, coach and politician; he represented the country at the Olympics and won a Commonwealth gold medal. The Les Mill selection of classes ranges across several disciplines for all abilities. You are in good hands and your body will thank you for it – resolve to go along to Atlantis in 2019 and find the fitness course that it right for you.
