148 Move it or lose it & help through the menopause, with Julie Robinson

Julie Robinson is an award-winning fitness expert who has dedicated her career to motivating thousands of people to keep active in later life. She has done this not only by being the fitness expert for a couple of women’s magazines, but over the past 12 years she has run Move it or Lose it, the company she founded to actively help older people get moving. In our conversation Julie shares the story behind her hugely successful enterprise, how it works and the scientific evidence behind the importance of maintaining our strength, balance and flexibility as we age – as Chris Tiley also endorsed on the podcast recently in his book ‘Never Too Old to Lift’. We also touch upon her most recent venture, MenoHealth – a support and fitness programme designed to empower and support women going through the menopause.
