Brunswick Gets PhysicalWe know how hard it can be to start getting active especially if you have been inactive for sometime due to circumstance, weight or illness. Walking into an exercise class or going to the pool can seem very daunting. That’s why at Brunswick Gets Physical we take a very non-judgemental approach to helping you get started.

You choose what you would like to do and at what pace and one of our friendly Buddies will support you all the way.

We have fabulous initiatives for you and your Buddy to use to get moving, the support is free and many of the programmes below are free too!

Bike Lend SchemeAs part of the project you and your Buddy can borrow bikes from here at the centre for a mornings cycle ride. You could even take a picnic purchased from our Healthy Living Cafe here at the centre.

Gardens & AllotmentsGardening can be an amazing workout with all that digging and watering. Not only do we have a new allotment that needs lots of work but we also have a Secret Garden here at the Centre. We are always looking for people to help out so not only will you start getting active but you will have some real results to show at the end of it too.

New Parents Trim TrailThis is a fabulous way to increase your fitness levels after having a baby. The Trim Trail will leave from the Centre and uses speed walking and toning exercises to help get you back into shape. It does not matter what level of fitness you are starting from our friendly Buddies will support you all the way. Baby can even come too!

It doesn’t have to be one of our initiatives that gets you moving, if you have always wanted to try swimming but have been too nervous to go alone then you and your Buddy can go together. You can even start by just going for a healthy walk around one of the Measured Miles in our local parks.

If you want to find out more please call Brunswick Gets Physical for a friendly chat on 01926 422123 or follow the link on our website www.brunswickhlc.org.uk

We’ll have a chat about what has stopped you in the past and how we can help you get moving your way to fitness.

At Brunswick Gets PhysicalWe are on your Team!

Interested in Volunteering?We are always looking for volunteers who can offer friendly support as one of Brunswick Gets Physical Buddies. If you are interested please call 01926 422123 or email volunteering@brunswickhlc.org.uk for an application form.

Health WalksWe have gentle Health Walks that leave from the Centre every week and are an ideal way to ease you into a regular routine.

Fitness ClassesWe currently run a Movement to Music, Seated Exercise class and a Ladies only fitness session here at the centre. You can even try Tai Chi or Karate for a small cost.

Walking in Warwick District

Warwick District Council will be installing a number of measured routes in parks in the district over the coming year with the aim of encouraging residents to do more physical activity. The routes can be used for walking, jogging, or general exercise and a measured mile route has already been installed at Victoria Park in Leamington Spa.

Did you know that:

Walking an extra 20 minutes every day will burn off around 7 pounds of body fat a year. The average time to walk a mile is 20-30 minutes and can burn 100 calories, as much as swimming for 10 minutes. Exercise also improves your mood and helps reduce stress. The minimum recommended physical activity levels for adults is 5x30 minutes moderate activity per week, and 60 minutes per day for children, activities could include brisk walking and jogging.

Take a walk along the way marked Riverside Walk between Leamington Spa and Warwick. Visit www.warwickdc.gov.uk/riversidewalk for more information.

With the announcement that Coventry will be a host city for part of the Olympic football competition in 2012, the sub-region could not be better placed to make the most of the Games coming to the UK before, during and long after 2012.

Our focus is built on engaging as many people and organisations around the key areas of Sport, Culture, Business, Tourism, Education and Pre-Games Training Camps. To achieve this we have over 20 projects and initiatives that are designed to involve and inspire everyone to be the best that they can be and to be part of this once in a life time opportunity.

Adults should do a minimum of 30 minutes a day of physical activity on 5 days or more per week (5x30) and for children, 60 minutes every day.

To maintain good health you should do the above at the “moderate intensity level”, where your breathing and heart rate will usually increase, where you can feel your pulse and you should feel warmer and possibly be sweating on a hot day. You can do the minutes in different spells of 10 minutes or more. You can build this up gradually and remember any increase in activity will be beneficial!

Examples of activities could include

• brisk walking • gentle jogging • swimming • tennis • badminton • dancing • aerobics • cycling• Active conservation/getting active while helping the environment

There are lots of different fun ways you can meet the recommended levels and they don’t have to involve playing sport, although sport counts too! Have a look at some of the information on the next page to find out about ways of being active.

If you are active

• you can live longer,

• help your heart, lungs, bones and other

body parts and functions.

• reduce stress and make you feel good.

• prevent yourself from getting various

health conditions and problems now or

when you are older.

Its worth being active and doesn’t have to be a struggle or hassle as it can be fun and you can include it as part of your everyday life!
