   Energising the body

   Stimulating the brain

      Enriching the soul

 

Our physical fitness programme works in harmony with our brain fitness training.

 

Studies have shown that the benefits of physical exercise are immeasurable. Even moderate physical activity can improve the health of people who are frail, or have conditions that accompany ageing. Being physically active can help you to stay strong and fit enough to keep doing the things you enjoy, and we firmly believe in the old adage - 'use it or lose it.'

 

The Neurobics exercise programme can help you to improve your general health and enable you to maintain your independence for as long as possible. For example, studies have proven that, people with heart disease, high blood pressure, poor mobility, arthritis or diabetes, benefit greatly from regular physical exercise.

 

In addition to the above, the Neurobics physical fitness programme can lighten your mood, lower your stress levels and improve and maintain many aspects of cognitive function.

Our physical fitness programme can:-

  • Improve health and mobility
  • Boost memory and cognitive function
  • Build new neural connections
  • Improve blood circulation
  • Reduce stress levels and improve mood
  • Strengthen bones and muscles
  • Improve balance, felexibility and reduce falls
  • Understand the benefits of healthy eating
  • Control you weight
  • Increased Energy
  • Improved focus

 

 

 

 

Up until recently, neurologists believed that the human brain develops during a critical period in early childhood, and then remains relatively 'static'.

 

In the past, it was generally accepted that the brain was 'hardwired' with fixed neuronal circuits. There was a prevailing sense that we are powerless to protect ourselves against neurological decline.

 

HOWEVER, towards the end of the 20th century, research began to demonstrate that many aspects of the brain can be altered well into old age, and there is now a great deal of consensus amongst leading neurologists that our ability to stay healthy - emotionally, physically and mentally, is to a large extent, influenced by factors within our control.

 

At Neurobics, we understand that your brain is a very complex piece of equipment - a bit like a 'super computer' and it's capabilities are immeasurable, well into old age.

 

We provide strategies and exercises to maximise your brain's potential. Our programme will support you to:-

  • Improve your memory
  • Finding words
  • Build cognitive reserve
  • Understand your brain
  • Improve problem solving
  • Faster thinking
  • Quicker reactions
  • Sharper listening
  • Learning new things
  • Ability to complete tasks and learn practical strategies for everyday living
  • Improved concentration
  • Improved mental funtion
  • Foster independence
  • Better mood

 

At Neurobics, we provide activities and strategies which improve mood, attention, awareness and focus.

 

We encourage our members to embrace positive thinking and adopt a lifestyle with 'clarity of thought' and 'peace of mind.' Naturally, the rigours of life, including the ageing process itself, is challenging, and at times, overwhelming, which is why adopting strategies to manage stress and anxiety is fundimental to healthy living.

 

Samuel Ullman said, 'Nobody gets older simply by living a number of years. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.' At Neurobics, we provide strategies to help people feel motivated to improve the quality of their lives.

 

Our holistic fitness programmes have been designed to improve mood and build confidence. For example, when you participate in our aerobic exercises, chemicals are triggered which enhance mental agility and help you feel that extra enthusiasm for life. The brain will produce dopomine and other chemicals, which help people feel alert, rewarded and upbeat, and the self-confidence which accompanies these benefits results in a more positive mood.

 

The Neurobics programme will help you to:-

  • Manage your stress
  • Embrace positive thinking
  • Improve social stimulation
  • Understand the power of laughter 
  • Use relaxation and brathing techniques to encourage peace of mind
  • Spiritual gratification

Our Methods

 

The Neurobics programme is both challenging and fun.

 

We believe that our participants are unlikely to embrace our methods without enjoying the activities as well as the benefits.

 

MUSIC & RHYTHM - Musical and Rhythm have remarkable benefits for - the heart, lungs, mobility, memory, throat, sinuses, posture, balance, mood etc. It brings back the feeling of 'life' when nothing else can. Neurobics works in partnership with the Ronnie Gardner Movement & Rhythm Method (RGM).

 

BRAIN STIMULATION - Our brain stimulation exercises are fun and challenging. We know there is a 'super hero' in everyone and we provide the tools and strategies to discover your own powers.

 

PHYSICAL FITNESS - Our physical fitness programme uses the BEST strategies (Balance - Endurance - Strength - Total Flexibility). Although it is challenging, we ensure that everybody is encouraged to progress as their own pace, and it is a lot of fun. Neurobics works in partnership with Ageless Grace Brain Body Fitness programme.

 

MEDITATION - Meditation has been practised for thousands of years to promote spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing, and now, neuro-scientists have discovered how it can fight disease and counteract neurological decline. At Neurobics, we believe that meditation can be a gateway to a healthier lifestyle. 

 

ART - Creative expression is the key to improving mental stimulation. Art opens the mind, improves memory and is a great way of communicating what words can't. Art invokes memories and is a way of demonstrating that we can all add beauty to the world.

 

LAUGHTER - The power of laughter is one of the most under-valued benefits of strengthening the mind, body and soul. Our 'laugh with us' programme teaches our participants that laughter is the best medicine known to man (and woman!). It is a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety and pain. In addition, laughter boosts immunity, relieves stress, improves mood, improves memory and strenghthens relationships. Laughter is the battery which powers and enriches the entire Neurobics programme.
