Dani is a mum of one, soon to be two, and explains why she loves her decision to return to Physie as a lady and a mum.
When did you start Physie and why? How old were you?
I did physie for 11 years when I was 6 to 16 years old. I took it up again 7 years ago at the age of 33.
What do you love about Physie? Most of all I love the social aspect. I’ve made some wonderful friends in the last 7 years and still enjoy catching up with friends who I did physie with as a little girl. And of course I love the fitness and flexibility that physie brings. I’m very proud to say that at 9 months pregnant I was still able to put my hands flat on the floor beside my feet!
What is your most memorable Physie moment?
I would say making ladies national finals with two of my dearest friends in 2011. It was so exciting that all three of us were there together.
How has Physie changed since you did Physie as a junior?
Less big hair, less makeup and less fake tan, particularly for the juniors, which is a fabulous thing. The girls look like little girls rather than dolls. I would also have to say the syllabus incorporates more elements of dance and yoga than it did when I was younger.
What would you say to someone thinking about coming back to Physie?
Don’t think about it, just do it – you’ll make great friends and improve your fitness and flexibility at the same time.
What would you say to someone who has never done Physie and thinking of giving it a go?
Don’t hesitate – it’s great fun and you’ll get loads of help along the way.
How would you describe your Physie Club?
It’s truly a lovely physie club – there’s a great sense of camaraderie among all members. We practice hard but have loads of laughs along the way.
