Move It or Lose It with Julie - Nottingham

The lovely Pauline made us all laugh this morning coming to class for the shenanigans 😆

We love our music in class 🎶💃🕺

🎵 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

If you've not tried a circuit class yet - what are you waiting for?

Older adults who consistently attended a community exercise programme slowed down – and in many cases reversed – the usual age-related declines in fitness and strength. The longer they stayed active, the more protected their health, independence and physical confidence became.

We're closing the strength gap 🙂💪🏻

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.
