'How our spine moves matters. A strong and flexible spine can make all the difference between a full and independent life into our silver years or decades of increasing misery. Gravity can be our friend, or it can be our enemy”

(The Fit Sit Revolution: Functional Fitness for the over 50s)

I know this from personal experience. I had an accident in my 30s that severely impacted my mobility. I am happy to say now that, as I approach my sixtieth birthday, that my this is better than it has ever been. I used to be a lawyer but am now a movement specialist who works with clients of all ages who come to me for help with theirs.

The good news is that we all have the ability to change and improve our movement provided we know how. 

The Fit Sit for Beginners Course is going to teach you how and you will be amazed at just how quickly you can improve. Why? Because the 16 lessons in this course will help you to move around in space more easily and once your brain recognises a better way of doing things it will embrace the change. That is what neuroplasticity is all about

The Fit Sit lessons in this beginners' course are easily done at home but transformational. They have the potential to change your life because they will change the way that you think about your movement. Movement really is medicine. As you feel physically empowered, so too you will feel mentally enriched. When gravity becomes your friend, you will feel more positive as you experience a sense of connection to your centre, more grounded and less stressed. You will be able to do what you want more effortlessly and with greater ease.

I am not the only person to say so. Here’s what just a few of Fit Sit fans have been saying on social media from all around the world:

I used to be a lawyer but following an accident I became fascinated with how movement can be used therapeutically. I intially trained as a Pilates and Yoga teacher but it was only when I 'discovered' the Feldenkrais Method® and began to work with adults and child with special needs that many things my students and I personally struggled with began to make sense and I found the answers that I was looking for.

Traditional forms of exercise are exactly that: exercise. They are often designed to strengthen or stretch certain muscle groups but all to often fail for an individual because they don't teach the person how to actually improve their movement.

If bigger, stronger muscles is always the answer then body builders would move like dancers. Most don't.

As crazy as it may sound people forget how to organise their movement so that they can move well in relation to gravity. They had this 'superpower' when they were infants learning to move around effortlessly but as soon as they go to school, and life interferes, they lose the sense of how to do this. As a result, their movement becomes awkward and eventually they decline as they fail in their ability to overcome gravity.

The tragedy from my perspective is that this doesn't need to be the case and in my experience if you can help a person to re-learn how to move in a way that helps them to weight transfer effortlessly then their movement and lives can be transformed.

The key to improvement is a person's awareness. If you can show a person a better way of doing something as 'simple' as bringing their weight onto one sit bone then they will do it: why because it is easier.

That's what the Fit Sit Revolution (my book) is all about and that is what you will learn in this course.

You can do this at home. All you need is a chair.

In Module 1 (five lessons) you will learn how to master the key movements of the spine:

• side bending
• turning
• twisting
• curling and arching (flexion and extension)

These movements of the spine are the building blocks of good balance, good walking and balance. Think of your spine and pelvis as your suspension system. If you are able to do these movements well and integrate them into your lives then they have the potential to transform your movement and therefore your life for the better.

The key to all good movement is your ability to move through weight transference in such a way that gravity becomes your friend. In the 5th lesson you will learn how to access the power of your pelvis to re-activate this hidden super-power that we all have.

Module 2 contain a further 7 full length Fit Sit lessons in which you will be able to relate all that you have learnt in the first 5 lessons to the use of your arms, the spine, hips and a functional movement such as how to get out of a chair.

How many people do you know who struggle to get out of a chair? They have to use their arms or a bit of momentum to help. The knees are under strain and even though they may be going up the joints are screaming because the person is actually falling rather than using their skeleton and spine for support.

The lessons in Module 2 will help to change that.

As you work your way through the Fit Sit Course and begin to feel the improvements in your movement you will want to maintain your gains and that is what Module 3 is all about.

It contains 4 workout classes that are designed to fit into your busy lives. If you only have 10 minutes free then there is a 10 minute all over class, perfect for getting the spine moving through its full potential.

If you have more time to spare then there are 35 minutes or 45 minute long classes too.
