2026: A New Resolution
The role of the mind is paramount in exercise performance – here’s to a “yes” mind over muscle and a new outlook for 2026.
We are aware that exercise at any age is essential to our overall wellbeing, but even more so in our mature years. Research consistently shows that exercise is cumulative: lifestyle changes that include moderate-intensity physical movement are effective in improving long-term cardiorespiratory fitness and blood pressure.
Fitness is about getting back to basics in a very real way. For our ancestors, daily life and survival required constant movement and action. In contrast, a sedentary lifestyle causes a loss of metabolic fitness (healthy blood glucose and insulin levels), increasing the risk of illnesses ranging from diabetes to heart disease.
Studies have shown that as little as 15 minutes of activity can produce beneficial metabolic changes and meaningful health rewards.
It’s a new year! What better time to give yourself the opportunity to rev up your metabolism and unleash the power of improved, perpetual movement by participating in a Flexercise class near you.

- Do you exercise 2–3 times a week?
- Are you happy with how your body performs?
