A DISABLED fitness instructor is trialling a new aerobics class while raising money for his London Marathon race.

Kris Saunders-Stowe started his business Wheely Good Fitness to provide fitness classes for disabled people in Herefordshire.

Now Hereford Leisure Pool has agreed to trial his seated aerobics class, which is aimed at both self-propelling wheelchair users and able bodied people.

Mr Saunders-Stowe said: "Ordinarily Halo trial new classes for six weeks, but as seated exercise has a dowdy image for being slow and uninteresting (unlike what we do) they have given me a 12 week period to get numbers and hopefully keep the class running."

The first class will be combined with his fundraising for the London Marathon.

He was selected to be just one of 12 standard wheelchair entrants in the marathon and is raising money for the Ross and Hereford branches of the MS Society.

In 1977, Judy Bain laced up her sneakers, dug out her childrens red plastic record-player, picked out some bouncy 45s and started teaching aerobics at the YMCA.

Nearly 40 years later, the Kalama resident still teaches exercise classes, including low-impact aerobics, Zumba Gold, Move-ing With Music and a class called Betty Bones and Balance designed to build strength, keep osteoporosis at bay and increase balance to lessen the likelihood of falls.

The 70-year-old, who is a retired medical assistant from Longview Surgical Group, is going strong much of which she attributes to the lessons she teaches others.

Judy instructs 15 classes a week at the Youth & Family Link building. Besides Link, she offers classes through Lower Columbia Colleges Continuing Education program and Longview Recreation. Her busiest days are Mondays and Wednesdays, with back-to-back lessons starting at 7 a.m. and ending at 1 in the afternoon.

Drumming and moving in place helps students strengthen their bones and improve their balance to help avoid falls.

Everybody says, When are you going to retire? but this is really not a job, she said. Its just fun. Do what you like and like what you do.

Fitness became a part of Judys life when she took up running in the late 1970s. A member of the YMCA, she was approached by Pat Hahka, the aquatics director, about teaching a class. Judy was hesitant, but she took some training through the Y.

I taught my class in this big gymnasium, and it was so quiet, she said. I got my kids red plastic record player and taught the next class playing 45s and just kept shuffling the records to songs that I liked.

These days, Judy instructs using an iPod and a headset. With classes containing upward of 50 participants, the headset helps reach the ears of each person in the Link gymnasium.

Judy started teaching Better Bones and Balance in 2003. The results have been impressive, she said.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski partied hard at a Miami club Thursday, giving a woman a lap dance and doing pull-ups from an overhead beam.

His group took over a VIP table at LIV at the Fontainebleau, with several linebacker-size friends and one of his agents, Michael Katz from Rosenhaus Sports, during Tistos set.

Gronk greeted a Page Six reporter with a high-five and the advice, Dont get too drunk tonight and then he and his crew jumped around and danced like they were in an aerobics class.

After a magnum of Dom Prignon was brought to their table, the Super Bowl champ, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 265 pounds, got down on his knees with his friends and sang along to a dance mix of John Legends anthem, All of Me.

But Gronks best move was when he gave a woman a lap dance, then grabbed the steel beam above her head, kicked his legs up and did a set of straight-legged pull-ups over her.

Sweating Gronk grabbed a towel to dry off, and then repeatedly thrust his pelvis and swung the towel like a lasso.
