🎶 What’s your favourite duet of all time?
On 26th August 1965, Sonny & Cher’s “I Got You Babe” reached No.1 in the UK — and it went on to become one of the most memorable duets of the decade.
Nearly 60 years later, it’s still one of those songs that can instantly take you back.
Music has a wonderful way of doing that. One song can bring back a place, a person, a dance floor… or even a whole chapter of your life.
And at Move it or Lose it, we know the right song can make movement feel that little bit easier — and a lot more fun. 💃🕺
So today we want to know…
👇 What’s your favourite duet of all time?
Was it Sonny & Cher, Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton… or someone completely different?
Tell us in the comments — and let’s see which duet gets the most votes! 🎤

What does it really mean to age well?
We’re delighted to welcome Dr Lucy Po***ck to the Move it or Lose it Annual Healthy Ageing Conference 2026.
In her talk, “Ageing well: mindset, meaning and what really matters,” Dr Po***ck will explore the real-life experience of later life — including loss, uncertainty, confidence and the pressure of unrealistic “anti-ageing” messages.
Instead of chasing perfection, this session will focus on what truly helps us live well in the present: movement, connection, purpose and psychological flexibility.
Because ageing well isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about doing something consistently, finding meaning, and feeling supported along the way.

Not making it to class as much this August?
You’re not alone. Summer plans, holidays, caring responsibilities and changes to routine can all make it harder to get to your usual weekly class.
That’s where the Move it or Lose it Club can help.
You can exercise from the comfort of home, choose sessions that suit your energy levels, and keep working on the things that matter most — strength, balance, flexibility and confidence.
It’s not about replacing your class. It’s about helping you keep moving when you can’t get there, so you don’t lose momentum or miss out on feeling the benefits.
Try the Club this August and keep moving with us, wherever life takes you.

🥫 Be honest… how old is the oldest tin in your cupboard?
We’ve all done it.
You open the cupboard looking for something for dinner and suddenly discover a tin that appears to have survived three house moves, two kitchens and possibly the last century. 😄
Maybe it’s a mysterious tin of soup you don’t remember buying.
Maybe it’s fruit cocktail from a bygone era.
Maybe the label has faded so much that opening it would feel like a game of culinary roulette.
So today we want to know…
👇 What’s the oldest or strangest thing you’ve ever found lurking at the back of your cupboard?
Bonus points if it had a date on it that made you gasp. 😂

Could better sleep help us age better?
We’re delighted to welcome Professor Derk-Jan Dijk to the Move it or Lose it Annual Healthy Ageing Conference 2026.
A world-leading expert in sleep and biological rhythms, Professor Dijk will explore how sleep changes as we age, why it matters for brain health, mood and daily function, and what we can do to support it.
He’ll also share realistic, evidence-based strategies older adults can use in everyday life — including the role movement and exercise can play in improving sleep quality.
Because good sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s a foundation for thinking clearly, feeling well, staying active and maintaining independence as we age.
