CLUB NEWS
FALCONS FIT
Falcons Community has had a fantastic four weeks running
Falcons Fit, which sees 30 enthusiastic participants turning up
for 12 weeks, committed to improving their health.
Over the past four weeks Falcons Community has worked
closely with Nuffield Health Newcastle Hospital to educate
individuals on effective health interventions and lifestyle
adjustments to help improve participants’ overall health and
well-being.
The programme has consisted of rugby-themed physical
activity, strength and conditioning gym sessions and healthy
lifestyle workshops. Falcons Community have also encouraged
participants to increase their movement by setting weekly
step-count goals.
Falcons Fit kicked off with Lynsey and Gavin from Nuffield
Health Newcastle Hospital helping participants set out SMART
goals, get baseline measurements and give participants an
introduction to physical education and a look into what the
next 12 weeks had to offer.
In week two we welcomed even more participants where they
learned about the nutrition pyramid, focusing on calories,
macros and the RPE scale. They also took part in rugby-themed
games, partner races and kicking challenges, and finished off
with a few rounds of the famous West Stand steps!
During the session in week three participants continued to
focus on energy expenditure and daily calorie requirements
as well as a physical activity session to raise the participants’
heart rate.
Gavin and Alex from Nuffield Health Newcastle Hospital
joined us in week four to deliver a brilliant presentation on
how we can control our blood pressure by making lifestyle
adjustments.
