<h2>The Why</h2>Age Strong With Andy was founded three years ago, not just as a business—but as a mission. After beating cancer and losing my mum to the same disease, I felt a calling to follow in her footsteps.I’d spent much of my childhood watching from the back of gyms and sports halls while she coached women through movement. She was strong, compassionate, and lit up every room she entered. And through her, I learned something important: women in their 40s, 50s and beyond weren’t getting the help they truly needed.They were being overlooked, underserved, and too often told to “take it easy” just when life was demanding more from them—more energy, more strength, more resilience.That didn’t sit right with me.So I opened the Age Strong studio and began helping women—many navigating peri or post menopause—rebuild strength, move better, feel better, and reclaim the version of themselves they thought they’d lost.But here's the thing: the studio is nearly full. And I’m not content stopping there.There are too many women out there being told that aches, fatigue, and decline are just “part of getting older.” Too many who feel stuck, unsure where to start, and unsure who to trust.That’s why I created the Health Pension Program—a 90-day online journey designed to help women 50+ feel strong, capable and in control of their health again.Because muscle matters. Because sleep matters. Because protein, movement, daily habits and small choices add up. And because the cost of not doing these things—losing independence, dealing with preventable pain, or simply feeling like life is shrinking—is too high.This program brings together everything I’ve used to get life-changing results in person: The structure, the support, the simplicity—and the care.This is about giving more women the chance to Age Strong. To move through life with more energy, fewer limitations, and the confidence that their best years are still ahead.<h2>💡 What is the Health Pension Program?</h2> The Health Pension Program is a 90-day online coaching experience designed to help women in midlife build strength, energy, and confidence — all from the comfort of home.You’ll follow a proven 3-phase structure that I’ve used with dozens of women over the past few years, helping them feel better in their bodies, move with ease, and regain a sense of control.🧱 The Structure – 3 Phases for Long-Term Results Each phase is 4 weeks long and builds gradually — no overwhelm, just steady, feel-good progress:<ol><li>Foundation Phase – Build confidence and overall strength with simple, joint-friendly movements tailored to your starting point. </li><li>Stability Phase – Introduce more single-leg and single-arm exercises to improve balance, coordination, and even out any strength differences. </li><li>Acceleration Phase – Increase intensity slightly to boost your metabolism, strengthen your core, and start seeing and feeling changes in your body. </li></ol>These aren’t random workouts — the exercises, flow, and progressions are tried and tested. I’ve seen brilliant success with this approach, and I know it works… as long as you show up and put in the effort. I’ll guide you — but the results will come from your consistency.<h3>🏋️‍♀️ The Training – Simple but Effective</h3><ul style="list-style-type: square;" data-mce-style="list-style-type: square;"><li>2–3 strength-based home workouts per week </li><li>Optional movement or conditioning sessions </li><li>Designed for women 50+ (no burpees, no jumping!) </li><li>You’ll need just: dumbbells, a resistance band &amp; a stability ball (approx. £50–£110 setup) </li><li>Exercise substitutions provided if needed — it’s all adjustable </li></ul><h3>✅ The Habits – Small Changes That Stick</h3>You'll also track healthy habits using an easy check-in feature in the coaching app, like:<ul style="list-style-type: square;" data-mce-style="list-style-type: square;"><li>Daily step goal </li><li>Protein with meals </li><li>Fruit &amp; veg intake </li><li>Sleep &amp; hydration</li></ul><strong style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));">These habits stack up over time, and you’ll start feeling the difference in your energy, strength, and focus.<h3>🤝 The Support – You’re Not Doing This Alone</h3>From the moment you join, I’m here to support you.<ul style="list-style-type: square;" data-mce-style="list-style-type: square;"><li>Bi-weekly (every two weeks) check-ins to keep you accountable and supported </li><li>In-app messaging if you need guidance or a little encouragement </li><li>Personalised help setting up your equipment and your app </li><li>A prep week to get you ready before we start </li><li>Group size is capped at 10 women so I can offer the personal support you deserve </li></ul>I care deeply about the women I work with — and I cap the numbers because I want you to feel seen, heard, and supported the whole way through.<h2>🔑 How It Works – Simple Steps to a Stronger You</h2>You don’t need to figure anything out on your own. Here’s how the Health Pension Program works from start to finish:<h3>1️⃣ Join &amp; Secure Your Spot</h3>Once you sign up, you’ll receive a welcome message from me and access to your private coaching app. I’ll walk you through everything, step-by-step.💬 You can message me directly inside the app whenever you need support, have a question, or just want to check in. You're never doing this alone. &nbsp;<h3>2️⃣ Prep Week </h3>Before we officially begin, we take one full week to get set up:I’ll help you choose the right equipment (just a few basics — nothing expensive) You’ll set up your app profile and daily habit tracker You'll go through a simple checklist so you feel clear and confident about how everything works No pressure, no rush — just a calm, supported start.<h3>3️⃣ Start Your Health Pension </h3>From there, you begin your 90-day journey — with support from me every step of the way.You’ll complete 2–3 workouts per week using simple, effective movements You’ll track healthy habits like steps, sleep, and protein — all inside the app You’ll get bi-weekly check-ins (every 2 weeks) to reflect, adjust, and stay on track &nbsp;<h3>4️⃣ What Happens After the 90 Days? </h3>By the end of the program, you’ll feel stronger, more capable, and more confident — not just in your body, but in knowing exactly what works for you.You’ll have the confidence to repeat the program again on your own, even without the app or my support.Or, if you’ve enjoyed working together, you may choose to:<ul style="list-style-type: square;" data-mce-style="list-style-type: square;"><li>Continue with 1:1 online coaching, or </li><li>Wait for the next Health Pension Program intake and join us again</li></ul>Either way, you’ll finish the 90 days with the tools, experience, and momentum to keep moving forward on your terms.<h3>To Recap</h3>How It Works (and What Happens Next) ✔️ Choose to pay in full (£315) or spread it over 3 months (£105 per month) with Klarna ✔️ You’ll receive a welcome message and help choosing equipment if needed ✔️ Your app access starts with a “prep week” to get you familiar ✔️ On June 17th, we begin the 90-day journey together<h3>This is your invitation.</h3>If you’re ready to build your Health Pension — one that pays out in strength, energy, and independence — I’d love to help you get started.👉 <a data-mce-href="https://agestrongwithandy.co.uk/over-50-s-health-pension-program" href="https://agestrongwithandy.co.uk/over-50-s-health-pension-program" title="90 Day Health Pension Program" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to learn more or join</a>Let’s Age Strong, Andy

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));">In our fast-paced world, it's easy to believe that effective exercise means hours at the gym or intense workout sessions. However, one of the most powerful tools for improving our health, managing weight, and boosting mental well-being is something we do every day: walking.<h3>The 15-Minute Magic</h3><figure id="figure-hrlmid2gdm1q90gkf"><img id="hrlmid2gdm1q90gkf" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/113QJY5G8k68LNAiDM13tTPrvASIRpJUvhYiUjOPhHkTkpMemzcIirwiIrAlvBVT.jpg" alt="man taking exercise" title="man taking exercise" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/113QJY5G8k68LNAiDM13tTPrvASIRpJUvhYiUjOPhHkTkpMemzcIirwiIrAlvBVT.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>Recent studies have shown that even short bursts of walking can have significant benefits. In just 15 minutes, the average person can accumulate around 1,500 steps. This might not sound like much, but when done consistently, these short walks can lead to remarkable improvements in overall health. If you can add 2-3 short walks thoughout your day, thats thousands of steps to your week.<h3>Benefits Beyond the Step Count</h3>Mental Well-being: A quick stroll can do wonders for your mood. The release of endorphins during walking can help reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. Heart Health: Regular walking helps lower blood pressure and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. It's a simple yet effective way to keep your heart ticking along nicely. Weight Management: While it might not burn as many calories as a high-intensity workout, consistent walking can aid in weight management by boosting metabolism and reducing cravings. Improved Sleep: A bit of fresh air and light exercise can significantly improve sleep quality, helping you wake up feeling more refreshed. Longevity: Studies have shown that regular walkers tend to live longer and have a better quality of life in their later years. <h3>Making It Manageable</h3>The beauty of walking lies in its accessibility. You don't need expensive equipment or a gym membership. Here are some tips to incorporate more walking into your daily routine:Morning Motivator: Start your day with a brisk 10-minute walk around the block. Lunch Break Leg-Stretcher: Use part of your lunch break for a quick stroll. Evening Wind-Down: End your day with a relaxing 15-minute walk to help clear your mind. Remember, it's not about clocking miles; it's about consistency. Three 10-minute walks throughout the day are just as beneficial as one 30-minute session.<h3>Conclusion</h3>Walking is a simple, free, and effective way to improve your health and well-being. You don't need to dedicate hours or push yourself to exhaustion. Just 10-15 minutes, a few times a day, can lead to significant improvements in your physical and mental health. So, pop on your trainers, step out the door, and start reaping the benefits of this underrated superpower. Remember, every step counts towards a healthier, happier you!
