Please take a few minutes to watch this video, it’s so beneficial to practice this a few times a week.

Remember to do this somewhere safely where there is a sturdy surface nearby, if you need it.

Come back and tell me how you found it;

A - easy enough

⚖️ WOBBLY WEDNESDAY
Balance is a skill — and like any skill, it gets better when we practise it.
As we get older, working on balance can help us feel steadier on our feet, more confident when moving around and better prepared for those everyday moments when we have to react quickly.
The good news? Balance exercises don’t have to be complicated.
One of our simple balance videos has now been watched more than 2.1 million times — so if you’d like to give your balance a little workout today, we’ve popped it in the comments below. 👇
Just remember to practise somewhere safe and have a sturdy chair or worktop nearby for support if you need it.
💬 How would you describe your balance — steady, slightly wobbly, or a work in progress?

Activity madness 🤗😂

1. Keep the balloon in the air

2. Pass the bean bag around the circle

3. Sing the grand old Duke of York, WITHOUT saying the words ‘up’ or ‘down’!!

How do you think you’d get on with this one easy peasy or that’s a challenge??

💝1 YEAR OF MOVE IT OR LOSE IT 💝

This time last year I taught my first class (with 3 people!) I was soooo nervous 😬

Fast forward to today and I’m lucky enough to have this fabulous group of ladies come every week to ‘Move it or Lose it’ with me and I could not be happier💕

Obviously…we had to have tea and cake to celebrate this auspicious occasion 🥂🫖🧁

Here’s to another brilliant 12 months of having too much fun to really call it exercise and getting stronger & more confident week by week 💪🏻

You ladies are all incredible and you are my motivation & inspiration 💫

Doreen (86) has been coming to my classes for nearly 12 months now 🤗

Here’s was she said about the classes;

‘It works and it’s good for the mind as well as the body.
We are all in it together, you can meet new people and it’s fun too’

Doreen’s biggest achievement is being able to complete more and more sit to stands, when she first started she managed one or two!

Amazing work Doreen! 🏆Let’s keep going!

Happy Sunday!

Hope you’ve had a wonderful week so far ☺️

A brand new week begins tomorrow so let’s set one small goal today to move more!!

It’s could be anything, doesn’t need to big, but does need to be achievable for example:

🍁get outside for a walk,
🪑practise 30 seconds of sit to stands
💪🏻do some bicep curls while the kettle boils
🪻 pottering/weeding in the garden

Or something completely different….pop what you want do in the comments and we can cheer each other on 🤗
