Let's Get Active
Let’s Get Active everyone! Don’t worry if you are apprehensive and unsure where to start to exercise, and concerned it will be too hard or may hurt. Our new gentle 6 week online introduction to "getting active" is designed just for you!

You will be working with an experienced exercise specialist who will offer alternatives and adaptations to gently ease you into becoming active, at your own pace, within the comfort of your own home.

You will be offered a one to one Zoom consultation as part of the course to help you set your personal realistic goals which you will monitor as you progress week by week. You will also have opportunities to share in a Q & A session at the end of each class.

We will work on your mobility, flexibility, strength, stamina and breathing exercises and can help you manage your weight, all of which can help build confidence for you to then "stay active " and benefit your health and wellbeing.

The Government's recent strategy recommends that as a nation in general we need to get more active and lose weight. It’s about empowering everyone with the right information to make better choices. “COVID-19 has given us a wake-up call. We need to use this moment to kick start our health, get active and eat better” (DHSC, 2020).

We know inactivity and obesity increases the risk of serious illness (and even death from such as Coronavirus) so it’s vital we take action to protect the NHS and improve our own health. So come along and join us, get active and have fun - What have you got to lose?
