Have fun with the whole family

Joining a gym can be a fantastic way to get fit, but you generally can’t do this altogether as a family.

Also nothing puts a damper on fitness faster than boring exercise routines. Why not enjoy a variety of different activity sessions with the whole family, which will give you the same great health benefits and put a smile on your face at the same time!

Here’s one suggestion, why not take part in the Hunts 1K or the 3K Fun Runs as a family. It is taking place on Sunday, 21st June at the Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

But please seek advice from your Doctor before you embark on a new programme of exercise. We all do better at sticking with our health goals if we undertake them as part of a group or family.

Encourage your family and friends to join you in increasing their activity by fielding a team for the Hunts 1K and 3K Fun Run. By involving others around you in activity it will help your own motivation, and it includes a fun opportunity to socialise and relax after the run in the Spectators Village.

You’ll also find your whole family will get a mood boost and endorphin lift, not to mention a better more restful sleep as a result.
