Physical Activity Team

<<< Back to Pathway

Physical activity improves health and well-being. It reduces stress, strengthens the heart and lungs, increases energy levels, helps you maintain and achieve a healthy body weight and it improves your outlook on life.

For children, regular physical activity is essential for healthy growth and development. For adults, it allows daily tasks to be accomplished with greater ease and comfort and with less fatigue.

For seniors, weight-bearing physical activity reduces the rate of bone loss associated with osteoporosis. Regular physical activity also maintains strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, and can help reduce the risk of falls.

Being physically active not only strengthens your body, it also makes you feel good about yourself.

Walsall’s NHS Physical Activity Team are here to help you make wise choices about physical activity; choices that will improve your health, help prevent disease and allow you to get the most out of life.

The team has developed a wide range of activity sessions for all ages and levels of fitness, from gentle aerobics and family dance to circuit training.  The sessions are available at different venues across the borough. There are sessions during the day, evenings and on Saturdays.

All sessions are FREE so what are you waiting for?

For more information call Lifestyle Link on 01922 444 044

The sessions run at different times of day to make the service more accessible to all and are delivered within
community venues to ensure they are easy to get to.
