This years CPD day completed and passed. Was booked on to the Arthritis course, however, there was a little bit of a mix up and we ended up doing Deconditioning and Muscle Health one instead. These things happen and hopefully I can do the arthritis one next time

✨ What if one of the most powerful anti-ageing tools was completely free?
It isn’t a cream, treatment or supplement.
It’s exercise.
Staying active helps us hold on to the things that matter most as we get older — strength, balance, mobility, confidence and independence.
It can mean:
💪 getting out of a chair more easily
🚶 feeling steadier on your feet
🛍️ carrying the shopping
🧠 boosting mood and confidence
👫 staying connected and involved in life
For us, healthy ageing isn’t about trying to look younger.
It’s about feeling strong, staying independent and continuing to do the things you love for as long as possible.
👇 We’d love to know: what’s one thing you want to keep doing as you get older?

💪 What if exercise could help your muscles “reset” as they age?
New research has uncovered a fascinating clue about what happens inside ageing muscle cells when we exercise — and it could help explain why staying active is so important for strength and independence later in life.
Scientists have identified a potential ageing “switch” involved in how muscles repair and maintain themselves… and exercise appears to influence it.
So, can we really turn back the clock on muscle ageing?

I've had great fun this weekend trying out this weeks activity on my partner, Mum and Grandad. Needless to say my Mum & Grandad were much better than my partner 😂 and I was very impressed with how quickly my Grandad got one of the songs 🎵Looking forward to doing this in class 😊🎶

No matter how my week's going or how I'm feeling, I always come out of my classes with a full heart and a big smile on my face ❤️😊
I may still be building my classes up but I love teaching them and am reminded after each one that this was the right decison 🤗 I'm so lucky and grateful I get to call this my "job".
