Move it or Lose it with Alison

🎵 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

What if ageing didn’t mean decline?
A major new study found that nearly half of adults over 50 actually improved their physical or cognitive function over time.
And one factor made a big difference:
👉 Their beliefs about ageing.
Those who believed they could improve… were far more likely to do so.
It’s powerful.
Because how we think shapes how we act:
Move more → feel stronger → expect more → keep improving 💚
At Move it or Lose it, we see this every day in our classes.
People arrive unsure…
And leave stronger, more confident, and doing things they didn’t think were possible anymore.
✨ Ageing isn’t fixed.
✨ It’s something you can influence.

✨ This is one of those articles that can genuinely change how you think about ageing.

💙 Exercise can save lives – even after cancer.
A major international study found that people who exercised regularly after colon cancer treatment were:
✅ 28% less likely for their cancer to return
✅ 37% less likely to die in the next 8 years

And it wasn’t extreme fitness – just brisk walking 3–4 times a week for 45–60 minutes, or joining friendly group classes like Move it or Lose it.

Exercise works by reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, regulating hormones, and improving mood and energy – benefits many of our members know first-hand!

🏃‍♀️ You don’t have to go fast or far – just keep moving, keep improving.
