WHO SAYS AGE SHOULD SLOW YOU DOWN?

WHAT IS MolyFit?

Exercise for older adults.

MolyFit is simply exercise to help you maintain mobility, staying as pain free as possible. My message is simple: Sit less and move more.

WHY DO I NEED MolyFit?

As we get older, our bodies slow down and weaken. Problems occur which cause bad habits that can lead to injury and ill health.

This is why exercise becomes even more important with age, to stop these problems building and stay fit and active.

WHAT'S AVAILABLE?

Whether you choose one of my easy to read books or my FREE online 28 day video exercise plans (and extensive video library), I will show you that just a few minutes of exercise a day will make all the difference. With a little consistency and effort, I will build a better you.

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 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.
