Get Healthy for Summer!

With the days getting longer and warmer it’s a perfect opportunity to get out and get active. Here are some top tips:

1. Set yourself a goal for summer
Many people find that having a goal can help motivate them to get more active. It could be signing up for a new class at your local leisure centre or walking for 10 minutes each day. Apps like Active 10 and Couch to 5k are great tools that can help you track your progress and keep you motivated. Got to the One You website for more information on apps and tools to keep you motivated. 

2. Get outdoors
Getting fit outdoors is a great way to get some fresh air and admire some of our beautiful park land. Many of our parks have outdoor gym equipment which is all free to use. There’s of course also ample opportunity in the all parks for walking and jogging. Check out the keep fit section on Sandwell Council website. 

3. Do something you love
It’s never too late to take up a new sport or re-discover an old favourite. Did you love playing football as a kid? Or were you a dab hand at netball? Whatever sport you’re into check out what we have on offer and find the thing you love. For more information on what’s going on locally visit our Community Activity Network website.

4. Speak to our team about getting you a bespoke package
