National Fitness Day 2023
Wednesday 20th September 2023 is National Fitness Day, a day designed to not only bring people together to aid in supporting physical health through exercise, it is a day to show how important exercise is for your mental health.
The aim for this year’s National Fitness Day, rather than being a one and done event, is to be the stepping off point for a long term fitness journey, as #YourHealthIsForLife
Around the UK, Better is offering a free fitness class or swim session in each centre, available to members and non-members alike for #FitnessDay
Your local Better centres have something for everyone to try:
The Cleator Moor Activity Centre is offering a free Gym Workout from 12.00pm-2.00pm.
Regular exercise benefits your health, mind and body. Gym workouts boost your energy, increase lean muscle mass, decrease your risk for certain health conditions and help you manage your weight, but it also improves your mood and enables you to live longer.
The Copeland Pool and Fitness Centre is offering a free 50-minute Swim Session at11.00am-12.40pm.
Swimming is a great all-round exercise that everyone can enjoy, without putting stress on your joints, so it’s perfect if you want to be more active and stay healthy. This session is a general swim session for all ages and abilities for fun and fitness.
One competent adult swimmer may supervise up to 2 under 8’s or non-swimmers under 16 at a time.
The Whitehaven Sports Centre is offering a free 60-minute Group Cycle & Mindfulness Fitness Class (stretching, breathing) at 12.15pm-1.15pm
This is a great way to work on your fitness & burn calories at the same time! Afterwards you can cool down, relax & stretch off in the mindfulness part of the class where you will focus on stretching, breathing & overall mindfulness to help improve your wellbeing!
