What is LIVE YOUNGER LONGER all about?
KEEPING YOUR INDEPENDENCE
This program is about positive and active ageing.
It’s about liberation, continued independence and control. It’s also a celebration of age, it’s about enjoying life and finding purpose.
By understanding the things that influence ageing, and taking some simple steps to address them, you can maintain your independence and do the things you really want to do.
We believe it’s time to reset things and look at how we can enjoy life more. Indeed, how we can Live Younger Longer.

HOW THE LIVE YOUNGER LONGER PROGRAM RUNS
Live Younger Longer is a free program, designed in two parts to improve the quality of life for over 65s. Each session is just one hour.
PART 1 | LEARN ABOUT THE ‘HOWS’ AND ‘WHYS’
Week 1: The facts about ageing
Once you’ve finished your registration, it’s time to understand what it means to ‘Live Younger Longer’. We explain the 5 key areas that affect how you age and talk to the strategies that can change and importantly improve the quality of your life. We will present you with a PROGRAM BAG, full of goodies to set you up for the weeks ahead.
Week 2: Live a sharper life
Staying ‘sharp’ allows us to perform both simple and complex mental and physical activities. We’ll look at how to support, build and exercise your brain, improving its health, and ability to focus as well as improving your strength, energy and mood.
Week 3: Live a positive life
Your mental and emotional health plays a huge role in your enjoyment of life. We will show you how positive mental health can really contribute to living your best life. Helping you feel fulfilled, relaxed and owning a sense of purpose.
Week 4: Live an active life
Movement is everything when it comes to living younger. A little each day makes a huge difference, and it’s never too late to start! We’ll talk about ways to improve strength, flexibility and balance – vastly reducing your risk of falls, improving energy levels and reducing pain. We’ll also start our physical health classes!
Week 5: Live a healthy life
What we eat and drink has a huge effect on how our bodies and our minds perform. Taking time to make deliberate decisions about your food and fluids as you age is important – as things start to catch up with us! We’ll show you how simple changes make a big difference.
Week 6: Live a connected life
Feelings of loneliness and isolation are more common than you may think. So, our ability to build relationships, and engage in activities that give us a sense of purpose is vital. We look at creating meaningful connections with ourselves, others and the world around us.
Week 7: Graduation!
You are now a LIVE YOUNGER LONGER graduate. We’ll recap everything you’ve learnt, check in to see how you are going, what you have learnt and how you feel.
PART 2 | PUTTING YOUR STRATEGIES INTO PRACTICE
Here the focus is all about putting into practice everything you have learnt to improve your enjoyment of life. We will build up to a 3 day a week activity program running for 12 weeks.
At the end of the program, we will have a celebration and have our final check in to see just how much you’ve improved and enjoyed it.
