Hello there, how are doing? Hope you’re still trying to keep fit and active yourself along with your children. Pretty difficult I know at the moment with all the rain we’ve had. I just can’t work it out, one minute I need my sunglasses and sun cream, the next my coat and umbrella.
I had been looking forward to the weekend summer mornings down at football, sat in the sun having a chat with the other mums whilst our boys and girls are playing. I don’t think I’ve done that once yet đ but hopefully that will change in the next few weeks for the tournaments and end of season presentation/fun day. In which I’ll be doing a blog on towards the end of July.
Anyway, yes – the reason for this quick blog is just to make you all aware once again of National Fitness Day – 7th September 2016. Please see the article below for more information, go on!! Have a read and more importantly, get out there, have a go and try something new. Speak soon!
“National Fitness Day will once again be the biggest and most visible annual celebration of physical activity of the year. It is the day to celebrate the role that physical activity plays across the UK, facilitated by ukactive.”
“Last year, the aim to establish National Fitness Day as the most active day of the year hasnât changed. We welcome thousands of clubs, parks, leisure centres, gyms and ukactive members who will be opening their doors to welcome you for a free half hour session in your area.
We know the benefit regular exercise delivers including a healthier heart, increased well being and a better quality of life. However, many of us find getting fit troubling, it becomes a challenge and it shouldnât be â that is why we started National Fitness Day.
Research shows if you exercise in company (with friends) you are more likely to stick at it; the social atmosphere creates a positive environment which importantly helps us to have fun.”
Tracey Crouch, Minister for Sport, said:
“With lots of taster sessions and free events, National Fitness Day is a fantastic opportunity to encourage greater participation in physical activity, in line with our sports strategy.
“It’s great that ukactive is partnering with the private sector and that Argos will be helping to spread the message across the country to both consumers and their own workforce.
“Sport and physical activity can have a really positive impact on people’s lives, improving both physical and mental health – I hope as many people as possible get involved on the day.”
