Thanks to funding from a Sports Unlimited Project, pupils from Etherley Lane Primary School have had the opportunity to experience the chosen work-out technique of many celebrities; pilates.
Pupils from year 1 through to year 6 have been participating in an after-school club every Wednesday.
A spokesperson for the school commented, “Pilates is an ideal topic, as it is cross-curricular and straddles subjects such as health and fitness, human biology, vocabulary and language. It helps children relax, improves posture, coordination, concentration, body and breathing awareness, body control, flexibility, muscular control, posture and motor skills.”
