Did you know that by being more active and working at building muscle strength, you can help to boost your metabolism?

Muscle burns more calories than fat, and it continues to burn calories even when you're resting. This means that the more muscle you have, the higher your basal metabolic rate (BMR) will be.

Strength training can help you build muscle and increase your metabolism. It can also help you manage or lose weight, and improve your ability to do everyday activities.

If you would like to work on building muscle strength in a fun and friendly environment, why not find your nearest Move it or Lose it class: https://www.moveitorloseit.co.uk/exercise-classes-for-seniors-near-me/

Feel it in your bones: taking the pain out of osteoporosis More than half the women in the UK over the age of 50 will suffer a fracture. But can more awareness – and some heavy lifting – help us beat many of the effects of osteoporosis?

Did you know your entire skeleton gets replaced every 10 years? And here's a fun fact: bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself to stay healthy!

This process, known as remodeling, removes old bone and replaces it with fresh tissue. To keep your bones strong, here are some tips:

• Exercise regularly
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet
• Get enough vitamin D
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
• Consider taking vitamin K
Let’s keep our bones healthy! 💪
