I asked my class members this week 'what benefits do you gain from a Move It or Lose It class?' . You can see that friendships, socialising and fun has been mentioned a few times along with improved balance, one person even expressed that they don't use their walking stick anymore! How fab is that!
Reducing loneliness and improving quality of life for older adults is more important than ever,looking at our ageing population. We must help our community help Live Longer for Better.

First Class Free !
I now have spaces available for our Move It or Lose It classes every Wednesday at the Haydock Community Centre, Drovers Lane, Penrith at 11am.
It's a fun and friendly group.
The FABS programme is more than exercise, it's focus is on prevention of illness, such as diabetes, hypertension, fraility, loss of muscle and balance. This class will incorporate exercises to build muscular strength and endurance, coordination, reaction time, balance, flexibility and joint mobility.
Participants can remain seated the entire class or stand with support or remain standing.
I'm so lucky to have a job where I can contribute towards our older community in helping them stay mobile and active for longer.
Do feel free to message me to find out if this class is suitable for you or a loved one.

Just bought Tim Spector 'Food for Life Book', highly recommended if you want to improve your health inside and out, easy to use and so delicious. I baked these dark chocolate nut bars and green curry.
Food all revolves around how we feel, how we exercise and how we feel about our bodies. We all struggle at some point by either one of these three.

When people come up to me after class and say they feel better or their balance has improved, I know I'm in the right job. Contributing to helping older adults make a positive change to their health gives me a real purpose to keep driving forward the message that preventative movement ( exercise ) can keep you independant for longer.
