Happy New Year everyone! Here are a few thoughts to start 2026 and get motivated to it or Lose it...........(as if you needed any 😉)

There's a reason doctors are paying attention to dance

💃 Unlike repetitive exercise, dance constantly challenges the brain to adapt.
🕺 Dance activates multiple brain areas at once! Movement, memory, rhythm, balance and attention.
🕺The combination forces the brain to form new neural connections, called neuroplasticity.
💃 In a large long term study, regular dancing was linked to ~76% lower risk of dementia.
🕺 As well as supporting brain health, dance strengthens the muscles we rely on for everyday life.
💃 Dance builds strength, improves coordination, mobility, balance and cardiovascular fitness all in one session!

So, in the words of the lovely Tess and Claudia - 'keeeeeeeeeeeep dancing' - it does you good!!

It was a lovely class today with two new ladies.

Here’s a look at the venue on a beautiful December day. Come and join us every Wednesday for some good music and good moves! Thanks to Vibe Fitness Solihull for a great 9.30 class to get me in the vibe 💕

I'm going to be starting new classes at the Mill Pool Scout Hut, 303 Lode Lane, Solihull from 12th November at 11.30. I'd love to see you there if you enjoy moving to music, meeting friendly people and want to build up your fitness!

You can do the class seated or standing, and if you've just been given the go ahead to exercise after a period away, this is a great way to ease yourself back in.

Contact me here or on 07710 070813 for more information, or come on 29th October when I'll be having a drop in session to chat through the class and get to meet you! 😊

A new study has shown that regular exercise during winter can help maintain levels of Vitamin D even without taking supplements or losing weight.

Take home points:

1. Keep moving this autumn and winter! Regular exercise can help protect your Vitamin D levels when sunlight is scarce.

2. Exercise helps your body make better use of Vitamin D which is essential for bones, muscle and immune health

Here's a beautiful autumn carpet in Bournville!
