Every January, people across the county embark on a new fitness routine to improve their physical and mental health. Local mental health charity, Dorset Mind, want to help the community make small steps in bringing lasting change to our day to day lives.
Regular exercise is proven to help people with their mental health including better sleep, happier moods and managing stress, anxiety or intrusive thoughts.
As part of their Get Set to Go Programme, Dorset Mind have organised a free Fitness & Wellbeing taster event. This event is designed to give people the opportunity to try out a range of physical exercises to find the perfect one for them.
The 2-hour event will consist of 6 x 10-15 minute sessions instructed by local trained instructors including: ZUU HIIT, Serenity Yoga, Fun team games from Rabble, Boxercise, Full body circuit and Pilates. Participants will have the opportunity to talk to local organisations to find out what healthy steps they can take for themselves. Active Dorset, HealthWatch Dorset, LiveWell Dorset, Dorset Mental Health Forum, Muddy Runners, BH Live, Dorset Race Equality Council, YMCA Bournemouth, Dorset Healthcare are all taking part.
