Move often, and move in different ways. Aim for balance and variety in the physical activities you do each week, combining strength, mobility and activities you enjoy.

I try to make movement part of my morning routine. Dance classes are also one of my favourite ways to stay in balance. They give me a chance to move, keep learning and enjoy being a student rather than always being the teacher!
