SELF-CARE AWARENESS DAY is about empowering people to be active agents in their own healthcare. Doing so not only puts people at the centre of their own healthcare, but also relieves pressures on health systems.

What are some self-care techniques you can start today?

✔️ Get enough rest - don't push yourself till you burn out. Allow yourself 5 - 10 minutes during the day to get your nervous system balanced. Ideas include sitting with a hot drink reading a book or going for a walk around the block.

🚶‍♀️ Keep moving - any movement is going to be beneficial! Whether its taking standing breaks while at your computer to going for a gym class, make movement a priority!

🍉 Eat healthy foods - start with replacing unhealthy snacks around your house / work place with nuts or fruit. If the biscuits and crisps aren't nearby you won't be tempted! 😇

Self-care is about little moments where you make your health a priority! As the saying goes 'Health is Wealth'.

If you need any help getting started on your health journey, then think about coming to a Pilates class or chat with our Personal Trainer who can get you on an exercise routine that is tailored to your needs.

Paracise integral at all stages in life and shows with this review from Mytime Active based in the midlands area of the UK.
Paracise classes are open to all no matter what health conditions 💙

James was an avid rugby player, who discovered his love for Zumba at Mytime Active in his 60s. But when dementia began affecting his memory, everything changed for him and his wife Barbara.

That’s when Mytime Active’s Paracise classes became their lifeline. With dementia-trained Primetime Buddies providing support, James could continue dancing while Barbara finally had precious moments of respite, sitting outside the class with a cup of tea, watching her husband do what he loved.

Barbara says: “James loved those classes. We were made to feel very welcome and both looked forward to that time. From my point of view, because there were Primetime Buddies in the room and they always took such good care of James, it gave me a break. I could sit outside of the class in peace and have half an hour to myself.”

As James’ condition progressed, the Mytime Active team suggested he replaced Paracise to our seated strength and stability classes. The instructors modified exercises so he never felt left out. When he became too unsteady, even when seated, Barbara joined him on the back row, doing as much as they could together.

Barbara says: “Everyone at Primetime knew his name and we always felt very welcomed. The instructors were great at adapting the exercises to his needs, so he never felt like he wasn't participating. For James to be able to stay active and social, when dementia can be so isolating, was such a bonus for us both.”

James attended his final class just weeks before passing away this spring. Even at his funeral, the Primetime programme was mentioned multiple times in his eulogy, because dance was so important to the couple and was how Barbara and James first met, and dance stayed with them until the very end.

“James is a great loss. He is missed in our classes by members, buddies and by me. I could always catch James’ eye in the class when the song ‘When you're Smiling’ came on,” says Ann Wilbourn, Primetime Manager.
