Ahhh, our beloved Angela. Born one hundred years ago tomorrow, on 16th October 1925. Let’s all celebrate!
I am planning to cook her date and walnut cake
and watch an episode of our favourite show - probably one featuring our beloved Dennis Stanton
and do the Positive Moves workout live here on Substack - JOIN ME!
This is a very GENTLE workout my lovelies - with easy stretches and a fabulous freeform dancing bit at the end.
It will make you feel utterly fabulous and it is NOTHING like the Jane Fonda workout…
I do not consider myself a fit person, but I can do MOST of Angela’s exercise moves.
I’ve never done a Substack Live so I’m not exactly sure how it will work, but I think the system will send out an email to all subscribers with a link in when I go live. You can then watch on your computer or phone and join in if you wish!
If you aren’t yet a subscriber, just pop your email address in here…
For the full experience you’ll need a bath towel for this move
and an exercise band or long belt for this one…
plus a chair or something else to lean on unless you have excellent balance skills.
There are bits of this workout I found absolutely impossible, like this bit…
so I just sit those out.. Like Shelley Winters did when she joined Debbie Reynolds for her workout video!
When I’ve done this workout online before, people have told me it’s a supremely relaxing thing to just watch! So feel free to tune in from your sofa with a glass of wine or cup of tea in your hand to toast Angela’s birthday with me.
If you fancy making Angela’s cake, I’ve removed the paywall from the post that includes my video demo so that everyone can see the recipe and my tips for making it. Just click on the link below to go straight to the post.
I hope that you will do something fabulous to celebrate Angela’s birthday - let me know what you got up to in the comments or by email. I love hearing from you ❤️
Oh, PS - if you are in the UK, I spotted these in WH Smith’s this week - only £1.99!
I bought two pairs…


















Those glasses are so YOU! 💜
