National Fitness day brings free events to the area tomorrow

The campaign aims to push people to try new activities and help combat the growing illness fitness can prevent.

Wednesday 25th September will see local sports centres trying to promote fitness in the area. 

It was founded 8 years ago to raise awareness about the importance of fitness and help people to lead a healthier and active life.

With links to improving mental health being active can help with more than just physical health.

We are happy to be working with @Locksmith who will be helping us to celebrate and inspire you to #BeActive on the most active day of the year! 💪

Study shows UK adults spend an average of 4 hours and 37 minutes a week making tea, compared with 1 hour and 36 minutes being physically active. That’s roughly 40 minutes a day making tea and only 14 minutes being active. Via @_ukactive https://t.co/kTVAJeIQMq
