[RED January @REDJanuaryUK]

Lots of REDers tell us they’d like to try group exercise classes, but are a bit unsure about how they work.

So we spoke to instructor Carrie from @EMDForLife, about her top tips for trying a new class for the first time…

[EMD UK @EMDForLife]

So proud to see our #ThisGirlCan classes in the news for #IWD2023. Thank you @Sport_England

[Sport England @Sport_England]

💪 @ThisGirlCanUK partnered with @EMDForLife to create This Girl Can Classes designed to give women the confidence to try new moves, understand different fitness class options, and make new friends - all in a totally non-judgemental, inclusive space.

[EMD UK @EMDForLife]

Great article - thanks to @EMDForLife for busting the myths about seated exercise. For many people this means they can workout for a full hour & enjoy the group atmosphere without worrying about their balance or stamina. #copd #ms #Parkinsons #stroke @movingmedicine

[EMD UK @EMDForLife]

So proud to be able to help support this project. We love the quote 'They don't have to fit in, this class IS their fit'

[EMD UK @EMDForLife]

Do have a look at our blog on #seatedexercise - as so many people wanted to share the joy and enthusiasm of chair based exercise and #Dance ! https://t.co/vlEkUKFdft Also proud many of our #TogetherFund projects are aimed at ethnically diverse communities https://t.co/OUlz0c7SJZ

[Age Joyfully @AgeingBetter]

“All of us lucky enough to grow #old—a privilege denied to many Black, Brown and disabled people—will #age into impairment of some kind. As people in ageland are well aware, we age well not by avoiding chronic illness and disability but by adapting to them”

[EMD UK @EMDForLife]

Another way to increase your daily steps is to find a #groupexercise class that suits you. Our instructors - of all ages - have classes to suit all abilities and fitness levels and they are so much fun! https://t.co/ddTzRn49if

[Age Joyfully @AgeingBetter]

“Even a small increase in daily steps can make a big difference”
“Just 75 minutes [a week] appeared to substantially reduce the risks of early death, #cardiovascular #disease and certain #cancers” #research shows
