Have you ever felt ‘I’m too old to exercise’ or even worse has anyone ever said, ‘You’re too old to exercise’? If so, WRONG!
For the vast majority of people that simply isn’t true. Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life.
The benefits of exercise, for all age groups are well documented and include (source Benefits of exercise - NHS (www.nhs.uk)):
1. reducing your risk of major illnesses, such as, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer by up to 50%
2. lower your risk of early death by 30%
3. boosting self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy
4. reducing the risk of stress, depression, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
That’s why Durable Fitness provide online Seniors classes developed by a 64-year-old Personal Trainer.
Sessions are live on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:00 and all sessions are saved to our page (currently over 60 different sessions are available) so that anyone who misses the live sessions can do them on ‘catch-up’.

Just finished a great little course on the Future Learn website entitled ‘Sport and Exercise for Brain Health'.
Did you know lifelong exercise plays a crucial role in preventing dementia and poor brain health? Basically what’s good for the heart is good for the brain.
If you find this an interesting subject you can do the course for free, it’ll take about 5-6 hours over a 2-week period. Well worth it in my view. Just search Future Learn and join the course.

Short BBC video about Cryolipolysis, which appears to be a process to freeze fat cells. Sends a shiver down my spine!
Interesting that the Expert Doctor involved in the video states ' The surest way to get rid of excess fat is to try to work out and watch your diet' Traditional ways remain the best.

Can cryolipolysis, also known as fat freezing, help Terryanne meet her fitness goals in Kenya?
