We’re really
excited to have Lizzie Smith onboard for the “Ninja Warrior UK to Namaste”
exercise at home program during the COVID-19 pandemic!
Lizzie has
been a supporter of #IBDSuperHeroes since the very beginning and has raised
lots of funds for our nominated charity, Cure Crohn’s Colitis! She also took
part in ITV’s Ninja Warrior UK, dressed as Lizzie Loo!
Lizzie is a
Physiotherapist, and is keen to support the IBD community, and beyond at this
difficult time!
So, here’s
what you can expect.
Join Lizzie
LIVE at 6pm on Tuesday evenings, OR catch up and do the classes over and over
again if you enjoy them (we’re sure you will), over on the #IBDSuperHeroes
YouTube!
Lizzie has
designed these classes JUST FOR YOU. They are a 40 minute fusion (because she
loves the word) of multiple exercise styles such as Pilates and Yoga, and are
suitable for all abilities. Each session includes a warm-up and a cool down,
with stretches and movement exercises. In the middle, some simple strengthening
exercises and cardio.
Head to the event page on Facebook to join in!
If you post
about your attendance, please use the #IBDSuperHeroes hashtag so we can share
your posts!
We have set
up TWO fundraising pages for this activity, so if you’d like to donate to thank
Lizzie for her time, you can do so in two ways;
The NHS
Charities together COVID-19 appeal - Funds generated will be granted to member
NHS Charities supporting the health and emotional wellbeing of those at the
frontline of the NHS, so they can deliver the best care possible to coronavirus
patients.
Cure Crohn’s
Colitis – 100% of donations fund patient-centric research, to improve the lives
of those living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Current funded projects
include identifying genetic markers that predict patient response to treatment.
This will patients receive the right treatment for them, reducing adverse
reactions, and speeding up the time to remission.
