Description
This course is really two courses in one - plus some routines and tips 'n' tricks.
Course 1:
From frail to fit in 50 lectures
This course goes through the various factors that are likely to lead to frailty as you age and then into detail as to how to avoid becoming frail. The course looks at the evidence-based reasons for frailty and the evidence-based remedies. Many studies are references but there are also various fitness routines included.
Course 2
From fat to fit at 50!
This second course is a prolonged interview with Chris Zaremba, author of the book 'Fat to Fit at Fifty'. Chris was very overweight. He not only lost weight but became a world champion in Fitness Modelling and Muscle Modelling. (Note: For his age range!)
Through the interview - and with further research - we end up with a blue print for others to follow that will enable them too to lose weight, become super-healthy and enjoy life.
As Chris says: "At 50, I was obese, pre-diabetic and with high blood lipids (bad cholesterol), hypertension and pretty much no aerobic capacity. Today, my blood pressure and all other measurements are (according to the doc) typical for a healthy 30-35 year old."
Extras
There is an extra section. 30 days of routines and tips 'n' tricks to help you in your healthy ageing journey.
Who is this course for?
Everyone - whatever your age. All of us are getting older. Therefore all of us - if we do not pay attention to how we live - risk becoming frail. Maybe not for some years but why wait to take steps to prevent frailty?
If not frail, there is every chance that instead you'll become obese. Why not learn from someone who has 'been there' and since has his own TV channel, a range of awards, and is much in demand for training internationally?
Two Instructors
Chris S : Fitness qualification to run exercise classes for the elderly; recovered from stroke through an emphasis on fitness; experienced Udemy Instructor. (Frail to fit.)
Chris Z : Numerous fitness qualifications; Personal Trainer; experienced fitness competition-winner. (Fat to fit)
REMEMBER: By its very nature, this course is in a constant state of update. Taking the 30-days of routines for example: these are being created in June i.e. right now so follow at one per day, do not expect to see all at once.
This is a course to be taken slowly with huge thought and consideration.
Who this course is for:
- Those who are overweight and ageing
- Those who are unfit and beginning to get worried
- Those whose parents need to get fit!
- Anyone growing older

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.
The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.
