| 0:00.0 | I have an announcement to make Lorraine. |
| 0:11.7 | I've hit one of the 2025 goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year and I've got a certificate to prove it. |
| 0:19.3 | Well done. |
| 0:20.5 | Is this a certificate that will go with your shop put medal, which I'm obsessed with from school, |
| 0:25.6 | or your B-A-G-A-G-A-Gynastic badges from your little junior school? |
| 0:29.4 | I'm very proud of you, Trish. |
| 0:30.9 | Tell us what's happened. |
| 0:32.2 | Oh, well, it's a sporty thing because I am now qualified to teach Pilates. |
| 0:39.0 | I bow down to you for this because that was quite hard work and all your little |
| 0:44.8 | bendiness with all your ailments and you'll be a great Pilates teacher because you do listen |

But yes, no, I'm very excited about it, feeling, you know, peace with myself because you're quite, you know, you're very sporty and you're doing all your challenges.

| 1:26.4 | So, and that's opened up a to take on a new challenge and learn new skills. You know, I mean, I learnt to swim in my late |
| 1:45.4 | 40s, Frank Crawls. So, and that's opened up a whole new world to me. And I think, you know, |
| 1:50.8 | staying fit and well mentally and physically as we age is actually what we're going to be talking |
| 1:55.9 | about with our guest today, isn't it? Because we've got Dr. Lucy Pollock, who is a consultant |
