One of my lovely ladies told me something this week that genuinely made me smile…
She was out doing her shopping and, apparently, found herself walking around the supermarket on her tiptoes! šŸ˜‚
Now, I’m not entirely sure the other shoppers knew what was going on, but I absolutely LOVE the fact that my classes are sneaking into everyday life! Because that's what I want for my classes. Not just an hour of exercise, but little things that become part of your everyday life without you even thinking about it. šŸ˜†
So if you catch yourself doing one of our moves in the supermarket, while waiting for the kettle to boil or wandering around the house…
I take full responsibility! And talking of taking things out into the community…This week I’ll be out and about looking at some potential new venues in some new areas, with the hope of bringing Silver Strength to even more people. New places, new faces and hopefully some new classes coming your way! So here’s to a brand new week. Whatever you’re doing, keep moving, keep smiling and keep believing that you're capable of more than you think.
Happy Sunday everyone — let’s make it a good one!

So today I started a new class…
Not one of mine — I’m helping out a fellow instructor and covering some classes. But do you know what? Walking into a new class makes even ME nervous! My tummy starts bubbling, my hands get sweaty and I doubt myself. What if they don’t like me, what if I get it wrong? What if I look like a complete wally?
My voice cracks, my knees wobble and for a split second I want to turn around and RUN! šŸƒā€ā™€ļø
Sound familiar? Because starting something new is HARD, isn’t it? Walking through that door for the first time takes courage. You don’t know the people, you don’t know what to expect and your comfort zone is screaming at you to stay exactly where you are. But here’s the thing… You’ll never know what you’re capable of until you take that first step. So if you’ve been reading the posts Seeing the flyers…Thinking ā€œI really should give that class a goā€¦ā€ā€¦but you keep finding reasons not to…
COME ON IN! We’re friendly, we don’t expect you to be perfect and I promise you, everyone had a ā€œfirst classā€ once.
And if anyone says it wasn’t worth it…
10 extra squats for you next week! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
Sometimes we just have to push ourselves out of that comfort zone to achieve the things we want. So come on… take that first step.
We’ll be waiting for you. ā¤ļø

So, as we tumble out of bed and yawn and stretch and try to come to life… šŸ˜‚ we need to remind those muscles of ours that they need to MOVE too! šŸ’ŖšŸ¼
Tomorrow’s Move To The Beat classes will be a Dolly Parton mash-up in remembrance of a truly talented lady who showed the world that actually… it’s perfectly OK to just be YOU. ā¤ļø
We’ll be taking things a little easier than usual, just to make sure everyone eases gently back into classes after our week’s break.
But don’t you worry… I shall STILL be making sure we work every possible muscle I can find! So get those dancing shoes ready, bring your smiles, and let’s get moving! See you all in class tomorrow. 11am Weslyn Chapel Rushden. 12.30 Saxon Hall Raunds. 3pm Pemberton Centre Rushden. šŸ˜

I had a conversation with one of my new clients recently that got me thinking…
She said to me: ā€œAt my age, exercise isn't really about goals anymore. It's just about doing a bit.ā€ Well… I’m not sure I agree!
Why shouldn’t you have goals at 70, reach a new limit at 80 or aim high at 70, 80 or even 90? AGE IS NOT A BARRIER! Yes, we all have different abilities. Yes, we work with what our bodies can do. And yes, sometimes we have to adapt things. BUT… We can still have something to work towards. Maybe you want to get stronger, improve your balance, to be able to get out of your chair more easily, walk further. Or maybe you just want to prove to yourself that you can do something you couldn't do six months ago. THAT is a goal! Exercise isn't just about ā€œdoing a bitā€. It's about using those muscles, teaching them to work, making them stronger and helping our bodies cope with all those everyday jobs we sometimes take for granted. And it should be FUN! At Silver Strength we do what we can……but then we try to do just a little bit more. Because why settle for ā€œthat's good enoughā€ when we can keep improving? And let's be honest… Nobody gets to 80 and receives a letter saying: ā€œCongratulations! You've reached the age where you are no longer allowed to have goals.ā€ šŸ˜‚ NOPE! You can have goals at ANY age. So whatever your age, Whatever your ability… Whatever your starting point…LET'S GET GOING! šŸ’Ŗ And if you tell me you're ā€œtoo oldā€ā€¦ I'll probably just turn the music up and make you do another 8. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Right its our last day of Homework!!! I know I shall miss it too. Im hoping you have had as much fun as I have had šŸ˜†. A huge well done to those of you that have completed any of this weeks homework challenges whether you did one or all of them well done.
So, today we are working on our balance.
With all of these remember the rules.
Look at a spot in front of you. Hold in that tummy. And be brave, let go of that chair if you dare. However please do remember to be safe. You have got this. Dont forget to let me know below how you did. Have an amazing weekend, see you all back in class on tuesday where you can show us all how you have been practicing hard, or not, I will find out šŸ˜‚

Good morning. Well isnt it a drab day out there today? We did ask for rain and it has certainly hit us šŸ˜†. So what better day than today to practice a few exercises and here is todays!!
Keeping our legs strong is important not only does it help us in our every day life from climbing the stairs, to getting us round the shops to buy our gin, and on and off our chairs to grab another slice of cake, strong legs are also very important for falls prevention.
Having the strength, the ability to stop ourselves if we did trip if we did wobble or stumble is vital and to be able to do that we need a strong base. A good strong core a good posture and strong legs. So come on get working. If you feel really brave today you could always do all 3 days homework altogether now that would be amazing šŸ˜†. Let me know below how you get on. 🩵

Good morning. Welcome to Wednesday. 🩷 Homework Day 2. My advice would be to put some music on for this one and smash it out!! This works our core and as we all know a strong core is so very important for our posture which then helps our balance. It also works our legs, our hip flexors when we lift our knees. And if you choose to do the extra opposite x8 those work our obliques- the sides of our tummy muscles. It also helps our brain with
co ordination which as we all know some of us struggle with šŸ˜‚. So its a fantastic all rounder exercise today to have a go at. If 8 is too many then just do what you can. Pop a message a moan a groan or let me know your song of choice when you have completed today's homework šŸ˜‚ Enjoy ###

Good morning, Welcome to Homework Day 1!
Today we are working those legs with leg raises. 10 normal ones, then 10 the Niki way… nice and slow! šŸ˜‚
But why are we bothering?
Because strong legs aren't just about being able to kick someone under the table when they annoy you… although that is obviously a very useful bonus. 🤣
Strong legs help us with every day activities like getting up out of our chair, walking, climbing the stairs, getting in and out of the car and keeping our balance. Keeping our legs strong is vital for falls prevention and to help us maintain our independance, so whilst these leg exercises may seem boring they play a very important role. So dont forget to pop down below how you have done when and if you have completed today's task šŸ˜‚. Enjoy x

Right then, lovely lot… Every day this week I’ll be putting an exercise on here, along with your reps, for you to have a go at at home. A little something to keep you moving, busy, strong, fit and healthy. And if you fancy it, pop a little note underneath each day and let me know how you got on.......Even if it is just to moan šŸ˜‚
BUT NOT TODAY! Monday’s class has already worked so hard today. What a class! You absolutely smashed it. And my Star of the Day has to go to my Dad. Yes, yes… I KNOW I’m biased because he’s my dad! šŸ˜‚ But he hasn’t been well and today he came back fighting and absolutely smashed that class. I was so proud watching him push himself. And a huge well done to Peter, Rae and the wonderful Ken, who also really pushed themselves today. You worked incredibly hard and it definitely showed.
Well done to ALL of you.
Now keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for your FIRST SET OF EXERCISES…
I bet you cant wait!!! šŸ˜
Come on then, Silver Strengthers… let’s see what you’ve got!
