As the seasons change, it’s easy to forget that we still need to keep our fluids up.💧

When we think about staying hydrated, we often think only about thirst. Yet it plays a key role in keeping our energy levels steady and our minds sharp.

It’s one of those small acts of self-care that helps us maintain our health. Perhaps keep a glass of water nearby whilst you’re working or enjoying a hobby – your body will certainly thank you for it. 💙

Of course, don't forget to stay hydrated when exercising!

March is Women’s History Month – a time to celebrate the contributions women have made to our communities and beyond. 🌸✨

Did you know this month grew out of a small movement by educators in California back in 1978? They noticed a lack of women represented in school curricula and wanted students to see women as leaders, innovators, and change-makers. Today, it is a globally recognised month that promotes gender equality by celebrating role models and the vital impact of womanhood in all its forms.

This really hits home for us at MOVEability as a female-founded and female-run social enterprise., since we take great pride in our mission to break down barriers to exercise for everyone.💙

True inclusivity means recognising that everyone, however they identify, deserves to feel seen and supported. We welcome everyone to our classes and we hope that by leading with purpose and compassion, we can inspire others to become change-makers in their own way.

Who has inspired you in your life to keep moving or try something new? Let us know in the comments! 👇

"I 100% recommend these classes. They are so worth coming to, and everyone should try them." – Jenny Lillycrop

If you are looking for a new way to get or stay active and meet new people from the comfort of home, why not give our online classes a go? Our next class is tomorrow (Monday) at 10.30. Your first class is FREE 💙

Finding Convenience and Connection After her father sadly passed away, Jenny Lillycrop encouraged her mother to move closer and was looking for something they could do together locally. She found […]

💡How do you make our classes work for you?💙

We are always looking for ways to make our classes as accessible and inclusive as possible. We absolutely love it when our participants share the clever ways they’ve adapted the sessions to suit their own needs – just like Jenny did with her transcription app (see Tuesday’s post – link in the comments). 📱✨

A huge thank you to Jenny for bravely sharing her story. Knowing how she uses technology to help her follow the class helps us recommend similar tools to others who might be facing similar challenges. 🤝

Now, we’d love to hear from you... Have you come up with your own ways to make our classes work better for you? Whether it’s a specific bit of tech, a way you set up your chair at home, or a little adjustment to a movement – no tip is too big or too small!

You never know how much your experience could benefit someone else. Share your thoughts in the comments below! 👇

For a number of our regulars, a challenging part of staying active is simply finding a routine that fits around a busy life. For Jenny, our online classes became that perfect fit. 💻

Jenny joined us during the pandemic and has remained a mainstay of our online community ever since. Supporting her husband in his role as Thatcham’s Deputy Mayor means her schedule is often packed, so she values the convenience of logging in from home. As she puts it, "Heavy rain won’t get you out of an online exercise class!" 🌧️🏠

Beyond the convenience, the classes have provided an impactful way for Jenny to manage her health. She finds the gentle movement essential for her joints, noting that her knees really feel the difference if she ever has to miss a week. 💪

Because Jenny has lived with hearing loss since childhood, the online format offers a unique advantage. She uses a transcription app on her phone alongside her laptop, allowing her to follow Debbie’s instructions perfectly in real-time – a setup that would be much harder to manage in an in-person class. 📱✨

While the movement is important, Jenny also really values the social element. Whether it’s logging in early, staying afterwards for a chat or meeting people from all over the country, she finds the classes a guaranteed opportunity to connect. 😊

Thank you, Jenny, for sharing your experience with us.

If you’ve been looking for a gentle way to get moving from the comfort of your own home, we’d love to welcome you to our online classes. Your first online class is always free, so you can see if it’s the right fit for you. 🪑

We have a session running tomorrow morning (Wednesday 25th) at 10.30. Why not come along and give it a try?

Pancake Day is always a bit of fun, and beyond its origins and deeper meaning, it’s also a good reminder of the benefits of balance and coordination – two things we work on as part of our carefully thought-out routines. 🪑💪

In both our in-person and online classes, we love seeing people "toss" aside any limitations they may be feeling and build their strength (and for some, confidence too), one move at a time. 💙

Enjoy your pancakes today! What are you having with yours this year? 🍋✨💬

Like many of our regulars, for Hannah, our classes mean so much more than exercise. They are a chance to laugh and have fun, as well as helping her rehabilitate from her stroke.🪑

For others, the sessions have been where they have formed lasting friendships or regained their strength after an operation. 💙

However, we’re just scratching the surface here. How have classes like ours benefitted you? 💬
