BSLM: Live Well East Lothian

Live Well East Lothian, (formerly named East Lothian Cardiac Pulmonary-Rehab Group) is a charity established in 1992.

Live Well East Lothian offers gentle online and in-person exercise classes, relaxation, and advice. The charity became registered under the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine (BSLM) in 2022.
Live Well runs across the East Lothian region and is aimed at helping older adults (although younger adults are also welcome) to get the exercise they need to live a healthier lifestyle. The classes are run by specialist instructors for people who want to improve their general health, fitness, and mobility and they are suitable for individuals who may have undergone heart surgery, suffered a cardiac event, have a lung condition, or have diabetes. Live Well will however accept anyone no matter their medical condition, so long as they have not been told to avoid exercise by a medical professional.
All classes incorporate some basic education around health, fitness, and anatomy to enable participants to perform the exercises they learn safely at home outside of class times. At the end of a class participants will often have something to eat and drink together, facilitated by the instructor, enabling them to socialise and discuss other healthy lifestyle practices.
