"l had my knee replacement surgery on 3rd Feb and was able to come home on 9th Feb with just the aid of a walking stick. l am convinced that all the exercises l undertook before going into hospital gave me this result. l walk unaided in the house and have already taken two short walks out of the home with just the stick without any effort at all. Keep up the good work!"
Maureen, Leicester
"I think it is great and my mom has recently used it at home with my dad. Mom has had an operation and couldn't come to a class so it was good to get dad doing it at home with her. I think it is a great DVD and will recommend it to others."

+ Product History
Julie Robinson (B.Ed in Physical Education, NVQ II and III in chair based exercises and Extend) is a specialist teacher of exercise for older or less able people of any age and runs a network of classes in the Midlands area. The Move it or Lose it! DVD reaches those who cannot get to an exercise class or as an additional resource for those who can.
"The idea for this DVD comes from my clients who are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. From people in community centres to care homes, from Age Concern projects to hospice courses, so many people have said they want to follow the routines at home but can't remember what to do. So the first Move it or Lose it! routine is aimed at those who need gentle but progressive exercise so they can improve their strength, mobility and confidence.
I am frequently contacted by the people who are concerned about their parents or grandparents as they are worried about their physical decline as they age. They know they need to exercise but don't know what to do and cannot always get out to join a class. The Move it or Lose it! DVD brings the exercise class to their living room, encouraging them to keep on moving just like the people in the DVD."
