During the summer, many of us love spending time in the garden, pruning, planting, and caring for our plants. However, this can be challenging for the 17 million adults in the UK with musculoskeletal conditions.

Check out our blog for top tips to help those with joint pain enjoy the nation’s favourite pastime: https://www.moveitorloseit.co.uk/getting-the-most-out-of-your-garden-dont-let-joint-pain-stop-you-in-your-tracks/

Such great news for MIOLI ☺️

We are thrilled to announce that Move it or Lose it has been chosen as one of 39 organisations to help design Physical Activity for Health Pathways to transform the nation's health. 1/4 of us live with long-term health conditions yet we know being active can prevent and help manage these conditions.

Today we enjoyed demonstrating a few Moves at the Knaresborough Connectors Festival.
We had a great time 😁

It's been a busy couple of days. Yesterday we had a social get together Painting Pots Knaresborough when we found our creative side. We're all looking forward to seeing our creations!

We had a great morning painting and chatting. We must do it again soon x

So lovely to have Move It or Lose It with Cathy group in today on a social morning!

The ladies had a fab time chatting over ceramics, coffee and cookies!!!

If you have a group and fancy a slightly different social gathering… then consider Painting Pots and get in touch x x x

According to the NHS, there are around 10 million people in the UK who are living with arthritis.

While there is no cure for arthritis, there are steps you can take to alleviate the symptoms and discomfort. One of the most effective ways to ease the pain is to stay active. Regular physical activity can help keep the muscles around the affected joints strong, prevent bone loss, and reduce joint swelling and pain. Exercise also enhances the lubrication of the cartilage, which can reduce stiffness and pain.

I would like to thank Everyone for telling me how to do the bypass. I wondered where everybody had been!
This is good to know: It's ridiculous to have over 540 friends and only 25 are allowed to see my post.
It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed.
Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. Therefore,
Hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go your page, start a new post and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click paste.
This will bypass the system.
If you are reading this message, do me a favor and leave me a quick comment...a "hello," a sticker, whatever you want, so you will appear in my newsfeed‼️

Sound advice. Come along to try a free taster class. Great for your health and friendly too...

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones lose their strength and density. This causes them to break more easily.
Anyone can get Osteoporosis and there are no early warning signs. There are factors that could help to decrease your risk such as eating healthily & getting enough exercise. Exercise will help to strengthen the muscles and keep your bones strong, making them less likely to break. It is important to combine weight-bearing exercise and muscle strengthening exercises.

Did you know drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death worldwide? 💧

In the UK alone, an average of 400 people die from drowning every year.

That’s why it’s so important to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention.

This week is Drowning Prevention Week, which is an annual week organised by The Royal Life Saving Society UK.

We want to encourage everyone to take steps to work together to reduce the number of drowning incidents and keep our communities safe.

If you work in a school or with young people in any other capacity there are some great resources available on the RLSS website – we will pop the link in the comments below for you ⬇️

🥵 There seem to be two temperatures in this country: cold or boiling hot! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

😎 Summer has appeared out of nowhere and we’ve been plunged into a heat wave with no time to acclimatise!

☀️ It’s fair to say most of us are struggling a bit with this sudden rise in temperature but if you’re pregnant you’re probably struggling more than most. Especially if you’re not yet on mat leave and are having to go about your usual daily business whilst pregnant in a heat wave.

🙌 So, on this week’s blog we thought we’d give you our top tips for keeping cool in a heat wave when you’re pregnant.

☀️ Click the link in below (also linked in my stories) to have a read!

www.daisyfirstaid.com/pregnant-in-a-heat-wave

👍 SHARE this with your pregnant friends and let us know if you have any more hacks for keeping cool in this weather!

Studies have shown that high levels of social interaction can lower our blood pressure and reduce stress levels. Even more reason to join your local Move it or Lose it class! 😊 The exercises can be done seated or standing so everyone is welcome.

Why not pop along to one of my Knaresborough classes for a free taster session? Fun, friendship, fitness and a warm welcome are waiting for you...what's not to like?

Research proves how movement is medicine for our mind as well as our body. When we move, our muscles produce myokines, chemicals known as “hope molecules” which cross the blood-brain barrier and act as an antidepressant which is why GPs often ‘prescribe’ activity for better mental health. Movement really is medicine!

There's plenty of fun at our classes in Knaresborough. We all love to exercise our chuckle muscles. Why not book your free taster class and find out for yourself?

You have heard the saying ‘Laughter is the best medicine’.
Here are some benefits of laughter for your mental and physical well-being.

Becoming more forgetful is a normal part of ageing but we can work on strengthening our mind with different activities. Trivia quizzes, Soduku, word puzzles, learning a new hobby or language or attending an exercise class where you have to follow instructions and routines are all great ways to keep the brain active.
Do you have anything you do to try and keep your brain active?

Technology is not being my best friend at the moment, so if you'd like to book your free taster class please can you email me at [email protected]

Thank you so much 👍

NEW CLASS!
