Move it or Lose it Lichfield and Burton

Move it or Loose it Class for me is all about keeping your body at a suitable fitness level and also the mind active. I have been attending the class for many years and love the variety of programs that Cat gives us also introducing new routines to keep us on our toes. Everyone is friendly and thoroughly enjoys the classes that Cat provides for us, once you start Cats classes you are a long term member for sure and the full on going attendance of the class members speak for itself.

Attending Move it or Lose it has been a fantastic experience. Cat is professional but friendly, her humour is infectious. The class is well paced ensuring we stay active without overdoing it . It has really helped me improve my balance and flexibility, overall I MOVE much better and haven't LOST anything I have noticed. The social atmosphere makes it very enjoyable, I have made a number of new friends. I would highly recommend Move it or Lose it to anyone wanting to stay healthy and active .

I’m in my mid 60’s and I have been going to the Alrewas class for nearly 2 years now and have improved my balance and coordination, which was what I wanted. The bonus is that I’ve also improved my flexibility and aerobic abilities too. My mind doesn’t work quick enough to keep up with Zumba etc… this is is not a gym workout or spin class, so if that’s what you’re looking for this is not the place for you. The instructor explains what to do, gives alternatives if you need to sit and not stand. For myself and many others it gets us moving, singing and a smile on our faces, so what’s not to like! Well done Miss Sunshine(Cat) is always upbeat and happy, which is infectious.

I have been going to Cat Stewart's class for approximately 7 years now. I am 72. She is always cheerful & makes the exercise such fun. I really enjoy the class & have made some good friends too. I have noticed improvements in my general fitness & also in my balance. I look forward to the classes very much. Well done Cat!

This is a most enjoyable way of keeping your joints moving. We do all exercises to music which most of us know and we sing to them, just makes it so easy for you not to think too much about the moves. I have been coming to this class for 7 years and have enjoyed every single one, met a lot of lovely people. Yes some of us are not perfect as we are of a certain age but that does not matter, if you do not get it right or if you have to sit to do a certain exercise. No one is perfect and sometimes it is actually funny. I was sent to an exercise class by a consultant who wanted me to strengthen my core muscle, that was a long time ago, and recently I saw a senior physiotherapist who told me “whatever it is you are doing, keep it up because it is doing you good” what better recommendation is there. So I would recommend this sort of class to anyone who wants to keep their joints mobile, have a good laugh and really enjoy yourself for 1 hour a week.

I first went to MIOLI at 70years young when I had to retire from work due to ill health,I was warmly welcomed & thoroughly enjoyed it.Cat is amazing,she keeps an eye on the newcomers to make sure they are doing the exercises correctly so they do not do any damage to themselves.Easy to follow exercises to popular music,what’s not to like?Nearly 10years later I’m still at it! Made some lovely new friends & enrolled 2 of my own.Well done Cat,keep up the good work.

Having had Osteoarthritis for many years and having had 2 hip replacements and awaiting 2 knee replacements I find Move it or Lose is very beneficial to myself. I also have Osteoarthritis in both shoulders and manage to do a class once a week. As well as the obvious benefits of the class it enables me to meet people of a similar age. Jean Deverall

I’m Rosemary and I love this class with Cat. It is carefully programmed for over 60’s though most of the class are in their 70’s or like me in their 80’s. Cat is so well prepared so the hour goes quickly and all parts of the body are moved and stretched in a safe way I would recommend it to anyone over 70 to keep them going physically, in a fun class and make new friends too.
