During this potential period of isolation, we will provide remote interaction and ideas for activity for our Extra Time group for over 55s through our new app.
We would also be delighted if any of the updates on this page were passed on to older people who are not members of our group.
Our participant app for over 55s has two sections: Active Mind and Active Body.
Pete Brown, Extra Time coach and legendary quizzer, has provided ten ’10-minutes’ brainteasers and quizzes. Extra Time participant Brian, meanwhile, shows a few great exercises and games you can do at home.

Pete says: “With regard to physical shape I recommend the 10 minute warm up that we do before our sessions each week as a good way of keeping the joints flexible and the muscles toned. That could be done several times a week and is good exercise in itself although you may want to follow it with a walk, a bike ride, a jog or circuits.”
