Harpers Fitness is helping a major national initiative reach local people this year with vital winter warming advice.
Hundreds of “Keep Warm, Keep Well” leaflets will be distributed at our centres as the colder weather sets in, giving top tips on staying active, eating well and keeping warm. Harpers Gyms across the UK are supporting the Government campaign.
“It is really important for us to reach as many people as possible with our Keep Warm, Keep Well, campaign, so we are delighted Harpers Gyms are lending their support. This year we are focusing on advice for low-income families, older people and people with disabilities and our leaflets give vital contact numbers for support services as well as practical information.”
“This campaign has some excellent advice on the health and well-being benefits of staying active, which is a message we’re more than happy to promote. We’re already encouraging thousands more people to get the fitness bug by supporting the Government’s two year free swimming initiative and we work closely with local GPs and health trusts, to develop fitness programmes to benefit their patients.”
“Just 30 minutes a day of physical exercise will help to increase your energy levels, control your weight, reduce stress and improve sleep patterns. If you keep up your exercise routine over a long period, your risk of some health problems, such as heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and high blood pressure is also reduced.”
