MolyFit Books
Whatever your current level of fitness, I have a book that will help you get moving. Each provides straightforward exercise routines you can work through at your own pace.
Where it all began…
One of my main motivations for MolyFit was to challenge societal perceptions of older adults. I aimed to create an environment where people are recognised for their experience, wisdom and continued potential, rather than being defined by age alone. I wanted to show how exercise can be a powerful tool to improve health, not to be avoided because of age.
I launched MolyFit in 2019 with a book, A Better You in Later Life. The website soon followed, but no one seemed to be listening. Then Covid happened and the world changed.
During these difficult times, maybe for the first time, the focus was on older adults and how important it was for the over 65s to stay fit to help tackle underlying health conditions. I started working with Herts Sports and Physical Activity Partnership and they provided me with a platform for my voice to be heard.

Why Staying Active Matters
Heart disease
Regular exercise can help improve your heart health. Exercise can lower your blood pressure, lowering your risk of dying of heart disease and lower the risk of it progressing.
Diabetes
Diabetes now costs the NHS over £1 billion pounds a year. 90 per cent of diabetes is type two, which can usually be reversed through cutting back on sugar and exercising regularly.
Asthma
Exercise can help control the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
Back pain
Strengthening your core and looking after your posture will stop unnecessary pressure going into your back. Exercise will increase strength and endurance by improving muscle function.
Arthritis
Exercise can help reduce pain and help the joints by maintaining muscle strength around the affected areas. It can reduce joint stiffness and improve physical function.
Dementia
People who exercise regularly reduce the risk of developing heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and obesity, all of which are associated with developing dementia.
Books for Every Ability
I have a series of books available covering every ability so no matter what your fitness level, I can get you moving via a simple exercise courses that you can follow at your leisure.
