We have done a ‘thing’ …….

We can’t believe it is NINE 🤪 years ago today that Salli received a HEART HERO AWARD FOR INNOVATION from the British Heart Foundation in 2016, presented at The House of Lords.

How things have developed for Happy Hearts in those few years we now are doing so much more than we were then and have a few more plans for 2026. We would like to thank all our members and followers for your continuing enthusiasm, support and encouragement.

Salli and the Team ❤️

We are proud supporters of the British Heart Foundation and every year we have a week of fundraising. Plus in 2016, Salli received a HEART HERO AWARD FOR INNOVATION award from the BHF, presented at The House of Lords.

As Happy Hearts is having a summer break shortly, for the month of July we chosen to have 2 worthy winners of our Member of the Month…

Firstly, is Jane Fawcus.

Jane has been a member of Happy Hearts for a little over 18 months after finishing the Cardiac Rehabilitation programme.
Since joining Jane has been a diligent and regular member but we are particularly proud of her as it is only 8 weeks since having a knee replacement. It was very clear that over the last few months Jane was in a lot of pain and discomfort but soldiered on doing everything that she was asked to do by her consultant to ensure the operation would go ahead and adapting her exercises with us to make sure her recovery would be as comfortable and speedy as possible.

We are more than aware that many would have giving up at this stage and just given in to the pain and inconvenience it caused and stopped but not our Jane, her determination and perseverance meant that 6 weeks post op she arrived back with us for her usual Monday morning class at South Newton.
We can't express how proud we are of you Jane.

Our 2nd worthy July recipient is our long term member Crispin Edmunds.

Crispin suffers from Heart Failure and COPD where his oxygen levels drop quickly and significantly limiting his stamina so Crispin needs to work a little rest a little. Even the warm up has proved challenging over the years however over the last few months we have noticed a huge improvement it seems our Crispin has turned a corner, maybe it's a tweak in medication, or the fact that he recently attended a Pulmonary Rehabilitation programme, our continual gentle persuasion or a little light but firm kick up the bum from his lovely wife and exercise partner Penny. 😆

A combination of all we are sure, but the best thing ever is now Crispin completes the warm up in full and 80% of the rest of the session ... how fab is that 😄

What was just perfect was that when we announced he was the winner in our Codford class his look of surprise was priceless.

Slowly slowly Crispin you have accomplished.

Well done our man.

Meet Gwen Twyman our Member of the Month for June 25.

Gwen from Amesbury is 88 years young and a little dynamo she joined Happy Hearts after taking part in Salisbury District Hospitals Respiratory Rehabilitation (LEEP) Programme which as the name implies offers exercise and education for those suffering from lung disorders such as COPD.

Gwen was keen to continue her fitness that she had gained from this programme and therefore joined us on 28th April at our Amesbury class. Gwen uses a walker to help her with her movement and balance but seriously this lady could leave this aid at the doorstep we are sure she only brings this with her as an excuse because there is a turbo charge button somewhere within it.

Gwen is simply astonishing both in her attitude and determination and has not missed one class since joining us, even when the weather got hotter and the class members dwindled because of the heat Gwen was there.

This is one amazing lady with the stamina, mobility and balance of someone half her age, proving once again that age is no barrier to improving health and fitness.

Gwen is one hell of a lady and a real inspiration.

Ps Salli is still trying to find the button on Gwen's buggy that turns her into "Gangster Granny" (David Walliams) if you don't have grandchildren you still have to read this book which is new to Salli's 'Book of the Month' Section 😆
