Crazy warm up for Love to Move today with reaction practice using a Crazy Catch UK net!
Everyone attending the Parley Place Care Home - Barchester Healthcare session had a go and they all really enjoyed the challenge.

This was followed by all our usual cognitive enhancing exercises working on co-ordination, balance, rhythm, word retrieval and more as developed by the British Gymnastics Foundation.

I was invited to deliver a British Gymnastics Foundation Love to Move session at the Prama Memory Lane session in Ferndown yesterday.

What a lovely afternoon everyone had! Karen was so welcoming and caring towards all the attendees and made me feel very welcome.

Everyone joined in and gave all the sections their best. The Hokey Cokey was definitely a favourite and had everyone singing, smiling and moving!

Hope to see some of my new friends at some of my other sessions nearby in the future.

Always recommend a cuppa after a session and with cake, even better!

Place your hands up if you deserve a cuppa after this 🍵🙌

Working hard deserves to have some tea and cake afterwards right!?

According to the Alzheimer’s Society, it is thought that social contact helps with resilience against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain.

Love to Move Dorset community sessions involve making social connections in a safe and supportive environment. Seeing friendships made is one of the most rewarding parts of delivering the programme.

At Love to Move sessions, everyone is encouraged to find their own level.

Today I asked participants at Avon Cliff Care Home to slide their hands forwards down their legs as far as they wanted to go.

Some stopped at their knees, some at their shins and this lady folded all the way to the floor!

Well done D....!

Over 2 years ago!

Still loving my visits here and to other amazing care homes in the area.

It has been great to be part of this local project delivering British Gymnastics Foundation Love to Move sessions with Tricuro Care and Support. Their day centres offer invaluable support, care, friendship and meaningful activity to their clients and now with regular cognitive enhancing exercise sessions too!
