August can be a funny month for routines — holidays, family visits, hot days, busy days… and sometimes getting to class just isn’t possible.
But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on moving, feeling good and keeping up your strength, flexibility and balance.
Our Move it or Lose it Club gives you access to gentle, effective exercise you can do from home, at a time that suits you. Whether you want a quick seated session, a bit of balance practice, or a longer class to keep you feeling on track, it’s all there when you need it.
So if you’re away from your usual class this August, why not give the Club a try?
It’s a great way to stay active, stay motivated and feel part of the Move it or Lose it community — wherever you are.

Can one tiny movement from a chair really make a difference? 👀
The soleus push up sitting has gained attention because research shows this specific seated movement can help the body use blood sugar more effectively while sitting.
It works the soleus — a deep calf muscle built for endurance — and it’s much more powerful than it looks.
To try it:
🪑 Sit tall in a sturdy chair
🦶 Keep the balls of your feet on the floor
⬆️ Lift your heels
⬇️ Lower them back down
🔁 Keep the movement gentle and rhythmic
It doesn’t replace walking or regular exercise, but it’s a brilliant little movement snack to add into your day — especially after meals or when you’ve been sitting for a while.

“I always leave feeling better than I came.” 💜💚
This is exactly what Move it or Lose it is all about.
Alison, 68, has been attending Yvonne’s class for four years and says it has helped her mobility, balance and confidence, while also giving her a lovely sense of community.
She also shares something so many people feel before trying their first class — nerves.
But her message is simple:
“Please, don’t hesitate. Just come along and have a little taster class… you will not regret it.”
Our classes are friendly, welcoming and designed to help you move at a level that feels right for you, whether seated or standing.

Fourteen years later… and still Fit & Fabulous! 💜💚
We were recently lucky enough to spend the day with two of our wonderful Fit and Fabulous for Life DVD stars, Jean and Kathy.
The first photo was taken back in 2012 to promote the DVD, and here they are now, 14 years later, still looking absolutely fabulous — don’t you agree? ✨
The Fit and Fabulous for Life DVD was created to inspire people to get moving, feel stronger and enjoy exercise at home, with the message:
“If we can do it, so can you!”
Jean, Kathy and Jacqui, who featured in the DVD shared their own inspirational stories of overcoming life’s challenges, including cancer, major surgery and weight issues, showing that it’s never too late to move more, feel better and build confidence.
The DVD includes aerobic, toning, stretching and balancing exercises to lively music, with helpful adaptations so you can work at a level that suits you.
It’s a lovely reminder that keeping active isn’t about trying to be perfect — it’s about feeling good, staying strong and enjoying what your body can do.
Thank you Jean and Kathy for continuing to inspire us all these years later. You really are fabulous! 💜💚
