With the falling leaves and wet weather during the autumn and winter months, your risk of falling increases. So it's worth having a think about how you can reduce your risk, and take care when you're on the move. 🍂

You might think that moving less will help you avoid a fall, but actually, moving more and staying active is the best thing you can do to stay as mobile and independent as possible. 👏

Being active can help you maintain your strength, balance and coordination, which can help you prevent falls. 🙌

🍂 Hello, October! A new month means new opportunities to move with purpose.

This month, we’re focused on fresh ways to stay fit and improve balance because mobility isn’t just about movement, it’s about confidence, independence, and peace of mind.

As we continue developing a product designed to support your loved ones, our mission is clear: help people stay active, prevent falls, and keep life in motion. 💪✨

Here’s to a season of strength, stability, and wellbeing. 🍁

We can't believe how fast this year is going and how close we are to our Step into Wellness: Festive Edition event! 👀 🤯

Expect Pilates, yoga, guided meditation, sound baths, wreath-making (with Bucks Fizz!), festive beauty workshops, nutrition talks, skincare treats, sauna sessions, line dancing fun for all ages, and a show-stopping finale. 👀

What a night! 🎉👏🏻 So proud to announce that the work we do at Active Families was awarded in the Business for Good category at the North East Business Awards! 🏆

We still can’t quite believe it! Thank you so much for all of your for your incredible support and for making Active Families the company it is today.

We couldn’t do it without you and can’t wait to see what the future holds ❤️

Have you got your steps in today? 👀

Walking does so much more than keep you active:

👉 Strengthens bones and muscles to support stability
👉Improves heart health and overall fitness
👉Reduces the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes
👉Boosts mood and lowers stress
👉Enhances balance and coordination, helping to prevent falls as we age 🦶✨

A simple walk today is an investment in strength, safety, and well-being tomorrow. 👟

Being mobile, strong, and steady on your feet can help you stay independent, which can boost your confidence and well-being as you get older, and reduce your risk of falling. 🙌

🧘 Yoga is a great way to stay mobile and improve balance! Try this exercise at home with a chair or walker.

👉 Heel-toe raises:
1. Stand with both hands on your walker or a chair.
2. Raise both of your heels and balance on the balls of your feet for 3 seconds (less is OK if you’re a beginner).
3. Then shift the weight onto your heels and raise your toes.
4. Do 10 to 20 repetitions or as many repetitions as you’re able.

Top 3 ways exercise can help prevents falls 🏃‍♀️💪

1️⃣ Better balance: stay steady on your feet 🤸‍♂️

2️⃣ Stronger muscles: catch yourself if you trip 🦵

3️⃣ Quicker reactions: stop a stumble before it becomes a fall ⚡

Stay active, stay safe, stay confident! ✨

We are looking forward to dressed up again for the North East Business Awards soon where we have been shortlisted for Business For Good for our work as Active Families North East! 🎉✨

Then in November we will be heading to London for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards! Exciting times! 🫶
