FYI - I took this photo whilst I was walking near Lake Garda. It reminded me of one Eileen took a few years ago when we had orchids growing around the car park at the St John. They cut the grass instead now! 🥲

Scientific evidence is starting to show that strength training keeps us healthy as we get older.

Radcliffe and District over 50s Yoga Therapy class now add light weights to their familiar yoga practice.

"Using dumbbells and wrist and ankle weights helps improve our strength, stability and posture alignment."

Taken from Saga magazine, May 2023
https://www.saga.co.uk/.../benefits-of-strength-training

"Strength helps us in everyday activities, whether that’s lifting boxes out of the attic, digging the garden, or carrying the shopping.

It also allows you to stay mobile and flexible, making things like getting up and down from the floor easier, or being able to bend to pick things up. Having strength for these things also decreases the risk of injury.

It keeps your body in good shape; if you can move well, you feel well, and have the energy to keep up with those younger than you."
