There are a number of physical aspects that decline as we get older and keeping active is paramount for a long, independent, pain free life.

• Strength is vital to keep you upright and moving.
• Joint and bone resilience so it doesn’t hurt when doing activities like walking down stairs
• Balance to prevent a fall
• Mobility to get down and up from the floor (especially if you have grand kids)
• Heart and Lungs to keep your blood flowing and keep you active for longer

In this one session I will cover all of these elements.
The first session is FREE by typing in the coupon code FIRSTFREE – tap the APPLY button then PAY. You will then be sent an email to join the Zoom class

Monday Move – The Twisting Bear

Extended periods of sitting can lead to restricted mobility.

The Twisting Bear exercise is highly effective for enhancing joint flexibility and promoting range of motion.

This movement builds upon the foundations of the Downward Facing Dog and the Bear exercises.

Once you have mastered these preliminary forms, advance to the Twisting Bear.

It is common for individuals not to reach the floor with their hips initially; consistent practice and gradual progression will facilitate improvement over time.

Benefits include:
• Enhanced whole-body coordination
• Increased overall strength
• Improved flexibility in the hips and back

This exercise supports continued independence by fostering physical resilience.

Fitness Over 50

Here are three key fitness areas to help you stay independent as you age:

• Work on mobility every day.
• Strength train, focusing on your rear body muscles, three times a week.
• Build cardiovascular fitness 2–5 times weekly through activities like walking, hiking, jogging, swimming, tennis or Space Hopping 😊

If you’re over 50, following these steps can support a long, healthy, and pain-free life, keeping you independent for longer.

Please feel free to like, subscribe, and share with anyone who you think could benefit from this advice.

If you are over 60 then falling starts to become a real concern.

With all of this ice around I thought I’d share how you can train to survive and prevent a fall.

In this video we are simulating a slip, or ‘catching’ yourself if you do slip.

I’m holding Lesley back with the towel as she walks forward. Then without warning I let go of some of the resistance. This forces her to ‘catch’ herself before falling.

Great training for helping your nervous system to react to a fall as well as build confidence when going outside in icy conditions.

I know many of you don't know what Bodyflow is.

So, here's a link to my YouTube Channel with last nights session. Just play and follow along :-)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

You finally work up the nerve to check your weight after Christmas and—boom! There’s that number, staring back at you with your New Year’s Resolution tagged to it. But be honest—haven’t you made this same resolution last year? Or maybe even several years in a row?

Instead of diving headfirst into intense HIIT routines or searching for rare recipe ingredients from a cookbook you can’t even locate, why not take it easy for a couple of weeks?

Why? Just look at my weight change graph in the image.

From the start of December, I slowly gained weight as I enjoyed more mince pies.

Once the holiday season ends and life goes back to normal, I start adding healthy habits one at a time. Before long, I’m right back to my pre-Christmas weight.

Don’t buy into all the hype about needing new products after the holidays. Sticking with what already works for you, and making just one simple change, will help you succeed in the long run.

Let me know in the comments if this helped you feel a little less stressed about weight loss 😊
