Moving More
Moving more is good for your body and mind, helps stop you getting serious health problems and it can help you sleep better. Just a few small changes can make a big difference to your life and how you feel.
Improve your physical health and wellbeing with local physical activities in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland. Whilst the government guidelines suggest adults should be doing 150 minutes of moderate activity (intense enough to increase heart and breathing rates) a week, the biggest improvements to our health are made when we go from doing nothing to doing a little bit of activity.
Not only does being active decrease our risk of many health conditions, it improves our mood and confidence, helps us sleep better and provides many social opportunities to meet new friends.
Our whole website provides information, programmes and opportunities to become more physically active. Take a look around our website or use the Get Active Search Engine to find clubs, organisations and sessions near you, join a local friendly beginners RunTogether Group or contact your local Physical Activity & Sport Team within your District or Borough.
