Great start to the new strength and balance circuit class at Centenary Hall, Hardres Street, Ramsgate CT11 8QP 😍 moving round the hall we tackled tightrope walking, standing on one leg, strengthened our triceps and bounced some balls! With zero pressure and plenty of laughs! Come and join in the fun; first class is free - and then it’s £7 PAYG. Fridays 10-11am and I’ll look forward to seeing you next week! 😄💪 Age UK Kent Business Isle of Thanet Gazette KentLive

🎵 What if music is doing more for your brain than you realise — and you could use it to your advantage?
We often think of music as something we enjoy.
But new research suggests it may be doing something much more powerful —
👉 changing how the brain functions.
From increasing blood flow…
to strengthening connections between brain cells…
to influencing memory, mood and coordination…
Music activates multiple systems at once.
The interesting part?
👉 How you use music may matter just as much as listening to it.
👇 We break down what the science says — and how to use it — in our latest Turn Back the Clock: The Age-Defying Edit

I spent last weekend training in Milton Keynes with fellow Move it or Lose it instructors - Cognitive Vitality for Better Brain Health, and what a fantastic and interesting day it was! Not only did we spend the day laughing 😆 but learnt the science behind why movement strengthens neural pathways, supports long term brain health, improves mood, confidence and co-ordination….it was my 5th CPD since last summer! Can’t wait to do some more! 😁💪🧐

🧠 Turn Back the Clock: The Age-Defying Edit
New research published in Nature shows that as we age, the brain becomes less efficient at clearing and maintaining the proteins responsible for communication between brain cells. Over time, this may contribute to slower reaction times, reduced coordination and increased cognitive vulnerability.
But here’s the empowering part:
The brain responds to stimulation.
🧠 Movement
🧠 Balance challenges
🧠 Learning new patterns
🧠 Dual tasking
🧠 Social interaction
These aren’t just “nice extras” — they’re protective.
In our latest Age-Defying Edit, we break down the science in simple terms and explain why consistent, structured exercise that challenges both body and brain is so important after 50.
Move it or Lose it® classes are specifically designed to stimulate the systems that support strength, balance, coordination and cognitive resilience.

Because when it comes to brain health, stimulation is protection.

Our Class Members Are Bucking the National Trend

Older adults are the least likely to strength train in the UK.
But thanks to the hundreds of members who responded to our latest survey, we know our Move it or Lose it members are bucking the trend. Here’s what we found:
💪 97% are doing strength training at least once a week
💪 47% are doing it twice a week or more
💪 92% feel physically stronger
💪 98% believe strength training is helping them stay independent

And this is what strength looks like in real life:
✔ 70% find getting up from a chair easier
✔ 43% find climbing stairs easier
✔ 42% can walk longer distances
✔ 35% find carrying shopping easier

It’s exactly what Professor Janet Lord describes as one of the most powerful interventions we have to prevent frailty and maintain independence.

Our members aren’t slowing down.
They’re getting stronger.
