    Fit as a Fiddle!

    Are you over 50, live in the borough of Kingston, and want to lose weight, get fit, and improve your physical and mental wellbeing?

    Are you stressed, depressed, or have other mental health issues?

     

     


     

    Experts say that taking just thirty minutes of moderate intensity activity,

    three times a week, will make you feel better!



         
    Most people are not active enough.

    Not enough people take sufficient exercise, and as age increases, activity levels decrease. A survey conducted by Sports England found that in Kingston only 17% of those aged over 45 were sufficiently active.

    The Fit as a Fiddle project aims to encourage people to take more exercise.
